Student Research Assistants

Mount Allison University, Canada’s #1 undergraduate university for 20 of the past 28 years as rated by Maclean's magazine, focuses exclusively on the undergraduate experience in the Arts and Social Sciences where the highest degree is the Honours Bachelor of Arts. It is from this rich learning environment I have recruited top Honours students from the Political Science, Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and Canadian Studies programs to assist with the research. In alphabetical order, the following is a brief profile of my research assistants.

Meghan completed her BA in Political Science at Mount Allison University in 2012 and her MA in Political Science at Dalhousie University in 2015 with a focus on Canadian politics and government. She is currently working as a senior policy planner for the Government of Alberta. Meghan contributed to the early research on the disability leadership project.
