Professor of Political Science, Carleton University

I am a professor of Political Science at Carleton University, where I hold the Bell Chair in Canadian Parliamentary Democracy. I also currently serve as Associate Dean (Research and Graduate Studies) in the Faculty of Public Affairs.

My teaching and research interests focus on Canadian and Ontario politics. I also have an ongoing interest in the politics of evangelical Christians in Canada.

My most recent books are "For the Public Good: Reimagining Arts Graduate Programs in Canadian Universities" co-authored with Loleen Berdahl and Lisa Young; "The Politics of Ontario" co-edited with Cheryl Collier, and The Paradox of Parliament.

Much of my research has been generously funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada through their Insight grant program.
