But in recent years there appears to be growing awareness of class differences, especially as tariff threats & economic restructuring politicize workers in new ways. Our volume covers topics including working-class representation, voting behaviour, & political participation.. 2/3

Very pleased to share that our new book The Working Class and Politics in Canada is available for pre-order at the link below. We argue there has been a tendency in Canada to talk about workers & the working class in superficial ways (or not at all) ...1/3 https://t.co/CTrN9vYPqt

🚨New paper on Linguistic Divides in 🇨🇦 Political Science by @EvelyneBrie & I Diversity is key in Canadian political science. What about linguistic diversity in a bilingual country? It’s bad. It’s very bad. 🧵👇 https://t.co/2EXazaVJwp

Major highlight of the academic year! Can’t thank the students of POL 112 enough for their effort & enthusiasm. The energy in the room was electric and inspirational. Thanks also to the experiential learning office & AP Bergeron for capturing it on film!
Dr. Robbins-Kanter recently organized a mock parliament for students in our Introduction to Canadian Politics course. Their impressive performances show some of the amazing experiential learning opportunities available @ubishops! Congrats to everyone involved with this activity!

I argue that this policy will be bad for Quebec in the long run, creating new issues without helping to alleviate the important problems of underfunding francophone universities and the decline of French in Montreal.

J'ai écrit un court article dans la revue Options Politiques sur la hausse des frais de scolarité pour les étudiants canadiens et ses effets sur l'Université Bishop's. I wrote an article in Policy Options on Quebec's out-of-province tuition increase & its effects on Bishop's.
La fin du modèle québécois en éducation supérieure s'approche-t-elle ? Selon Jacob Robbins-Kanter (@jrobkan), en ciblant les étudiants du ROC, le gouvernement du Québec fait erreur et prend une décision lourde de conséquences pour Bishop’s et l’Estrie. https://t.co/LnPJJkZoSW

de liens sociaux & économiques QC-Can. (mariage, amitié etc). Les écarts culturels, malentendus, QC-bashing, sont déjà un problème. Espérons que le gouvernement trouvera d’autres solutions pour saisir les avantages des institutions anglophones tout en protégeant le français. 4/4
