Nathan Allen
I completed my dissertation at the University of British Columbia. Between time at UBC and joining St. FX, I worked for three years at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada as Program Manager for Surveys and Research Methods.
My research interests include elections, public opinion, political economy, and institutional change. While my dissertation project focused on the political economy of elections in Indonesia, work at APF Canada has motivated several projects examining cross-border issues, including public opinion of trade and the extension of voting rights to those living abroad.
