Short Biography:

Before joining pilipili漫画, I held a postdoctoral fellowship at Ryerson University as a member of the Canadian Municipal Election Study (CMES), and completed a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at the听University of Calgary. 听I am also an Adjunct Research Professor at Carleton University. I have degrees from Carleton (PhD) and the University of Waterloo (MA and BA).听

My research focusses on Canadian politics broadly and my specific interests include intra-party democracy, party organization, and political psychology. In general, my research focusses on questions of participation听and representation in party and electoral politics. I have written on a variety of topics including multi-level party integration, party personnel selection, personality and politics, candidate recruitment, and political ambition. My research has appeared in a variety of leading national and international journals such as听Party听Politics,听Political Research Quarterly,听Canadian Journal of Political Science,听Representation,听Regional & Federal Studies, and听Politics & Gender鈥�.听

My recent books include The Political Party in Canada (UBC Press, 2022),听The Personalization of Democratic Politics and the Challenge for Political Parties听(Rowman Littlefield Press, 2018), and听The Promise and Challenge of Party Primary Elections听(McGill-Queens, 2016).听
