Research Interests

Professor Anderson’s research interests lie in the area of Canadian political behaviour with specific interests in economic voting, political identity and citizen behaviour in a multilevel setting.

Current Research Projects

1. The Multilevel Democracy Project

  • With Jack Lucas (Calgary), Mike McGregor (Ryerson) and Laura Stephenson (Western), Professor Anderson (PI) was awarded a SSHRC Insight Grant for “The Multilevel Democracy Project”.  This is a five-year project will explore citizen and candidate attitudes towards the practice of democracy at the local and provincial level in Ontario over a multi-wave series of surveys surrounding the provincial election and municipal elections happening in 2022. 

2. Canadian Municipal Election Study Team

  • With Mike McGregor (PI) and many others, Professor Anderson is part of the Canadian Municipal Election Study Team (www.cmes-eemc.ca). Professor Anderson’s participation in this project has resulted in many presentations, articles, edited books and book chapters.

3. Comparative Public Opinion Book

  • With Mathieu Turgeon (Western), Professor Anderson is editing a book entitled “Comparative Public Opinion” (under contract with Routledge) which explores the sources of opinion about immigration in a range of democratic countries.
