My research applies a variety of methods to important questions in Canadian and public policy, with an emphasis on the intersection between broad social and economic issues and public opinion. I am especially interested in how individuals form their attitudes and behaviors on housing and homelessness-related issues. Below is a list of selected academic publications. See my CV for a more extensive list of publications as well as media appearances and academic communications.
