Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science, Carleton University)

Rob Currie-Wood is the Grant Notley Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science. His research examines how institutions structure civic participation in democratic politics, specifically as it relates to Canadian governance, political parties, intraparty democracy, election campaigns, and representation. An emerging leading expert on these topics, Dr. Currie-Wood has published studies in the Canadian Journal of Political Science, Party Politics, Political Geography, and is the co-author of The Political Party in Canada (UBC, 2022). He is also the recipient of the Canadian Political Science Association’s Vincent Lemieux Prize for Best Doctoral Thesis defended at a Canadian University. During his appointment at the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø, Dr. Currie-Wood is investigating political parties ‘at convention’ and the internal dynamics of party policymaking processes.
