Explore Political Science Research in Your Library

Join us in the lobby of Dana Porter Library for a showcase of ongoing graduate student political science research. This poster session highlights emerging scholarship from the PSCI 601 class (Research and Writing in Political Science) and leverages the Library as a hub for research connections, interdisciplinary dialogue, and knowledge mobilization. All members of the academic community—undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty are invited to engage with the presenters and learn about current political science inquiry.

Scholar Spotlight: Dr. Emmett Macfarlane

In this talk, Dr. Macfarlane will speak on to the relationship between specific governments and the judiciary. Extending a previous study of the records of the Mulroney, Chrétien, and Harper governments before the Supreme Court of Canada, and applying a conception of political regimes adapted from American scholarship, this paper analyzes the impact of judicial review on the Trudeau governments’ legislative agenda. The paper draws on a dataset of all Supreme Court cases involving federal legislation challenged on Charter grounds during the Trudeau era (2015-2025), as well as a handful of relevant lower court cases involving highly salient policies. In so doing, the paper also re-examines the relevance of a ‘regimes’ lens of analysis in light of criticisms that the concept does not translate to the context of a parliamentary system.
