I am currently recruiting potential collaborators at various levels, including:
Honours Thesis Students: I am open to taking honours thesis students. I generally do not accept students unless they have previously taken a class with me and received an A- or above and a 3.5 cumulative GPA, and I expect to see a well-formed one-page project proposal.
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. Queen’s also has two postdoctoral fellowships specifically tied to Canadian politics/democracy: the Skelton-Clark and Buchanan Postdoctoral Fellowships. I am always happy to speak with potential postdoctoral applicants for either the Skelton-Clark or Buchanan Postdoctoral Fellowships.
I am generally happy to supervise students and postdocs interested in…
LGBTQ2S+ politics, especially trans politics
Political parties, candidates, and elections
The representation of marginalized groups (BIPOC, women, LGBTQ2S+ people, the working class, people with disabilities/disabled people, etc.) in politics
Public opinion, especially on LGBTQ2S+ rights
Voting behaviour, especially LGBTQ2S+ voting behaviour
I’m primarily familiar with Canada and the United States as cases and generally do not supervise research on other countries unless it is closely related to my areas of expertise.
