Anna Beers studies the activities of political online communities and particularly the social media influencers that act within them. While she focuses on quantitative methods and particularly network science, her work is informed by ethnographic work on online communities and influencers derived from media and cultural studies. She concerns herself primarily with pressing problems in political communication in the United States, particularly related to public concern around disinformation, radicalization, and far-right mobilization. Her prior and ongoing work has focused on US elections, pseudo-scientific content relating to Covid-19, international information operations, and anti-transgender organizing.
