Congratulations to Erin Tolley, recipient of a Carleton University Research Achievement Award (RAA), for her project on “Black Canadians in Electoral Politics”.
“There are nearly 1.5 million Black Canadians in Canada, but we know very little about their political presence because research tends to rely on aggregate categories like “visible minority.” In collaboration with Operation Black Vote Canada, this multi-method project is the first comprehensive study of the experiences of Black Canadians in electoral politics. Our research will identify factors that promote and impede political engagement, and will make recommendations to increase political inclusion in Canada.”
