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 two institutional 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 particularly looking for graduate students and postdocs interested in…
LGBTQ2S+ politics, especially trans politics
Political parties, candidates, and elections
The descriptive or substantive 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. I generally do not supervise research on other countries unless the topic is very closely related to my areas of expertise.
