My interests are social and labour market policy. I have published widely on Canadian politics and policy and a numerous other fields, and have held Visiting Professor appointments in Germany and South Korea. Included in the work I have undertaken are reports and affidavits for a variety of public agencies, research reports for various levels of government and international organizations such as the OECD, and briefs to Standing Committees.
