About ME
Life in the West

Learning in the West
I grew up in Minnedosa -- a fantastic small town nestled in a southwestern Manitoba valley. Son of two teachers in a biracial family, I learned early on the importance of education in bridging cultural divides. I've taken those lessons with me as I've traveled throughout Western Canada, settling in Edmonton with my own family on a similar Saskatchewan River that flowed through my hometown.

I am a professor of political science at the University of Alberta. I'm a second-generation Black alumnus from the University of Manitoba (MA 2004). Twice I've traveled west for school, first at UAlberta (BA 2002) then UCalgary (2009). I've held faculty positions at two of my alma maters, working alongside Western Canada's most talented and dynamic political scientists.
