I am currently not taking honours thesis students for 2026-2027. However, I am currently recruiting potential supervisees and collaborators at various levels, including:
MA and PhD Students: I am always recruiting MA or PhD students through the Department of Political Studies. I encourage you to speak with me about our program by booking a Zoom appointment with me over email. Our application deadline is generally in mid-to-late January for a September start. You can find more information on our Departmental website. If you reach out to me by December, I am happy to give feedback on a project proposal for Queen's.
Postdoctoral Fellows: I am happy to speak with students interested in applying for SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships with me. Queen’s also has three institutional postdoctoral fellowships: the Skelton-Clark and Buchanan, and Peacock Postdoctoral Fellowships. I am always happy to speak with potential postdoctoral applicants for the Skelton-Clark or Buchanan Postdoctoral Fellowships, which focus on Canadian politics and democracy, respectively. I am happy to speak to Peacock applicants when the listed field relates to Gender & Politics.
I am particularly looking for graduate students and postdocs interested in 2SLGBTQIA+ politics, especially trans politics. My primary ongoing research agendas focus on…
2SLGBTQ+ candidates and representation in politics
Public opinion on 2SLGBTQ+ rights
2SLGBTQ+ voting behaviour
The discipline of political science, particularly research methods training and gender and sexuality within the discipline
I’m primarily familiar with Canada and the United States as cases. I generally do not supervise research on other countries unless the topic is very closely related to my ongoing research of expertise.
