Thomas Gareau-Paquette

Overview

I am a Ph.D. student specializing in American Politics. Before Cornell, I pursued a Master's degree in Political Science at McGill University, where my research focused on the attitudinal factors influencing preferences for economic redistribution and their impact on electoral behavior in Canada.  I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Political Science (Hons.) and certificate in Data Science for the Social Sciences from the Université de Montréal.  In recent years, I have held various research positions, working on a range of thematic areas, including secessionist attitudes and regionalism in Quebec and Scotland, post-pandemic politics in Canada, gender-affinity voting, and European public opinion toward Ukraine. 



 

Research Focus

My research is motivated by a strong interest in the formation and evolution of political attitudes across the United States, Canada, and other post-industrial democracies.  Specifically, my research interests extend to inquiries surrounding urban politics, political attitudes toward redistribution, and the political economy of housing.
