About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Studies at Queen’s University where I am also a Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity. Broadly speaking, my research and teaching focus on Canadian politics, often in dialogue with American and comparative work. My ongoing research foregrounds the role of political organizations—especially political parties, interest groups, and social movements—in social and political change. I am methodologically pluralist, drawing on a range of qualitative and quantitative materials.
Before joining the faculty at Queen’s, I earned my PhD in Politics from Princeton University, along with a Certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies. I then held postdoctoral positions in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto.
