Matthew is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Université du Québec à Montréal examining the sources of social solidarity with an international research team, as well as Canadian elections with the Consortium on Electoral Democracy (C-Dem). His research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, political economy, and political behaviour, and he is particularly interested in the consequences of economic inequality on political behaviour across advanced industrialized countries. He is also interested in class politics, elections, party politics, political inequality, public policy, and voting. Previously, he was an Editorial Assistant for Electoral Studies and the 2019 Progressive Economics Fellow with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).
