"Place Types." Excited that this paper with @sborwein.bsky.social is now available. We develop a new typology of place types in Canada at a fairly fine-grained level of geography, and then show how these place types relate to Canadian politics. doi.org/10.1017/S000...

From one Husky family to another 🐾! I’m thrilled to announce that in the fall I’ll be joining @northeasternu.bsky.social as Assistant Professor in AI Governance. After five long and challenging job markets, this moment feels incredibly special.

Just a reminder if you have the capacity to give, UBC is campaigning to raise funds for student learning today. You can click the link below to learn all about how Political Science uses these funds to help students with research and other learning opportunities.

I realize I usually talk about terrible no good things here, so here's a thing that's actually really positive. UBC is organizing a Giving Day today, to raise money for student opportunities.

There's a dedicated political science fund, that you can access here!

With the federal election approaching, I’m excited to share insights on how Canadians' vote intentions have shifted since 1945. This forthcoming CJPS paper, with @jacklucas.bsky.social, Dave Armstrong, and @eplusgg.bsky.social, features a public dataset, R package, and Shiny app—more details below!

Happy to have our new paper out in EJPR (with @jacklucas.bsky.social, Tyler Romualdi, Zack Taylor, Dave Armstrong and Katie McCoy). Has Canadian urban-rural *policy* disagreement widened since the 1990s? We find little evidence it has.👇 for more.

New paper on urban-rural policy divides. We use 456 unique issue questions from 1993-present to show (1) large & persistent urban-rural issue divides, (2) especially large divides in cultural policy, and (3) no evidence that divides have grown over time. ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
