Greetings. I am a Professor of Political Science at Carleton University, where I hold the Honourable Dick and Ruth Bell Chair in Canadian Parliamentary Democracy and teach courses in Canadian and Ontario politics. My latest books are For the Public Good: Reimagining Arts Graduate Programs in Canadian Universities (co-authored with Loleen Berdahl and Lisa Young), and a new edition of The Politics of Ontario (edited with Cheryl Collier). I also wrote The Paradox of Parliament, available here. In 2024-25 I was President of the Canadian Political Science Association.
.
The Bell Chair was established by the late Ruth Bell. My appointment reflects my longstanding interest in parliamentary institutions ever since I served as an Ontario Legislative Intern after my undergraduate studies in 1992-93, an experience that set the direction of my professional career. Since then I have been a regular observer of our parliamentary system. Among other activities, I served as president of the Canadian Study of Parliament Group from 2009-13. For more on my present and past research in Canadian politics, visit here.
I also have a strong interest in Ontario politics. The Politics of Ontario (2017), co-edited with Cheryl Collier, was the the first text on Ontario government and politics in two decades, and we were pleased to publish the second edition in spring 2024. For more on my work in Ontario politics, visit here.
Additionally, I am committed to mentoring and PhD career development. With my collaborators Loleen Berdahl and Lisa Young, we published For the Public Good: Reimagining Arts Graduate Programs in Canadian Universities in 2024. Earlier in 2018 I co-authored with Loleen Work Your Career: Get What You Want From Your Social Sciences or Humanities PhD (University of Toronto Press). For more on graduate education and doctoral careers, visit this page.
I have a longstanding interest in comparing Canadian and Australian political institutions and was a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University in 2016. I offer some thoughts on the contrast between Canadian and Australian politics here. I think the Museum of Australian Democracy, the restored Old Parliament House in Canberra, is the happiest place on earth for a political scientist!
I have been at Carleton University since 2000, after receiving my PhD from the University of Toronto, following earlier degrees from the University of Waterloo and Queen’s University. I was a Fulbright Visiting Chair at Duke University in 2007. From 2012-2018 I was chair of my department, and from 2021-24 was an associate dean in the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs. I have been a member of the Board of Governors and the University Senate, and held other roles at Carleton, and also teach academic leadership courses through the Centre for Higher Education and Research Development at the University of Manitoba.
I am from Elmira, Ontario.
