Gregory Lyon

Postdoctoral Fellow

About

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Tufts University where I am affiliated with the Cooperative Congressional Election Study and the Tisch School of Civic Life. My research interests include American politics, public opinion, working conditions, public policy, labor standards, inequality, and research methods.

I earned my Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 2019. Before I started graduate school in 2015, I taught English in Honduras and worked as a social worker in Philadelphia.

I can be reached by email at greg.lyon@tufts.edu.

Teaching

My teaching interests include courses in American politics, policy, the U.S. in comparative perspective, and research methods. I have taught at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I have also served as an undergraduate advisor in a program designed to help students learn about research and become involved in research projects.
