Joseph NoonanPhD student

My research interests lie in comparative politics, specifically questions relating to the behaviors and attitudes of individuals, and using quantitative methods to answer those questions.

Before starting as a doctoral student at SU, I worked for a number of years in professional settings which have had a research-adjacent orientation, in the public, private, and academic sectors. These positions include working as an Associate Program Officer at International IDEA, where I worked with International IDEA’s measurement of democracy the Global State of Democracy Indices, an associate researcher on the Demscore project, specifically the Historical Data Archive (H-DATA) module, and working with the project “A complete dataset of roll-call votes in the Swedish parliament, 1925-1993” where was responsible for developing data pipelines to transform 40,000 PDF image pages of roll call votes into a dataset with over 4 million cases. I have also worked as a survey analyst, both full time, and as a consultant.
