NPSIA mourns the loss of one of its former Directors, Emeritus Professor of Political Science John Sigler (1932-2021).
John Sigler earned his PhD in political science from the University of Southern California in 1968. He joined Carleton University in 1971 and served as the Director of NPSIA from 1977 to 1982 during a distinguished academic career. His research interests included Canadian foreign policy, Canada-US relations and the Middle East, and he was one of the founding members of the Group of 78.
“He was a gifted teacher and very popular with students. He also projected Carleton onto the national public affairs stage with his frequent commentary on the CBC and other national news networks in international affairs.”- Dr. Fen Hampson
