I am an assistant professor of political science at Athabasca University. Prior to my current position, I held an academic position at Simon Fraser University in the School of Public Policy. I have also held numerous postdoctoral fellowships, including one at the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CSDC, Université Laval), one at the Université de Montréal, and I was also a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Calgary.
My research focuses on three areas: Canadian politics, public opinion towards housing, and Quebec politics. My housing research, supported by a SSHRC Insight Development Grant, examines how and why people oppose the construction of new housing in Canada.
Apart from my academic interests, I am an avid sports fan, a huge Seattle Mariners fan, and, when time permits, an amateur SABRmetrician.
Je suis bilingue (français/anglais) et j'accueille les demandes des étudiants, des medias et des collaborateurs dans l'une ou l'autre des langues officielles.
