I am a political scientist whose research examines the relationships between rights, governance and public policy, with a particular focus on the Supreme Court of Canada's impact on public policy and political discourse under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I am currently a Senior Instructor with the Department of Political Science at the University of Victoria, teaching courses on public policy and Canadian politics. During the 2010-11 academic year, I was a Visiting Researcher at Harvard Law School. In 2009-10, I was an Associate of the Canada Program at Harvard's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. I earned my Ph.D and MA in political science at Queen's University, and a BA at the University of Western Ontario. I have published in the International Political Science Review, Supreme Court Law Review, Canadian Journal of Political Science, Review of Constitutional Studies, Canadian Public Administration, and the Queen's Law Journal. My book, Governing from the Bench: The Judicial Role and the Supreme Court of Canada, is forthcoming with UBC Press. |
