I graduated with my BA from Queen’s University in 2020, majoring in Political Studies with a minor in Global Developments.
What is it specifically that attracted you to study Political Economy at Carleton?
I was interested in the Institute’s more critical approach to politics and the wide array of courses available. I also wanted to be involved in a smaller program and more personalized experience.
My areas of research interest include…
Global governance and international institutions, with an emphasis on power within discourse.
