Greg Hawrelak is originally from Edmonton, in the Canadian province of Alberta. He attended the University of Alberta in Edmonton, graduating in 2012 with his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a Sociology minor. He then moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to complete his Master of Arts degree in Political Science, finishing in December of 2014. During his Master’s degree, he completed his final Master’s research project on the effects of globalization at the urban level – specifically, by exploring whether the city of Louisville, KY, would be served by embracing the lead of Charlotte, NC, in adopting a more “pro-global” strategy.
Greg has been at the University of Georgia since 2015. In his time at UGA, he has served as a Research Assistant, assisting faculty with data collection for their research. He has also served as a Teaching Assistant, teaching breakout sections of POLS 1101 – “Introduction to American Politics” for five semesters. He served as the lead Teaching Assistant for POLS 1101 in the Spring of 2018. He has presented co-authored, original research projects at the MPSA conference in Chicago, IL, in both 2017 and 2018.
Greg’s research interests are centered on American politics – specifically, voter behavior, public opinion, and political decision making. He also studies the effects of Facebook use on political communication and interaction, including discussion, deliberation, and confrontation. Additionally, Greg studies political behavior in a comparative context across countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and others.
