Elizabeth McCallion is a dedicated learner, a passionate teacher, and a creative multi-method researcher.
I am an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream (CLTA) in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto.
I received my Ph.D. in Political Studies from Queen’s University in 2023. I was a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholar (Doctoral), and from 2021-2022, I was the Canadian Study of Parliament Group’s Doctoral Fellow.
My research focuses on the Canadian parliament using a gendered lens. My main research methods are qualitative and quantitative content analysis, interview research, and archival research.
My teaching specialties include Canadian Politics, Gender and Politics, and introductory political science courses.
When I’m not at my laptop, I can be found reading for my book club, making subversive embroidery, cooking elaborate meals, going on long walks downtown, and fawning over our cat, Boots.
