We're asking each of our new faculty members to introduce themselves by providing us with a brief profile highlighting their research, a list of courses they'll teach, and a photo. That way we'll recognize them when we meet them in the halls on campus or in Zoom meetings online.
Dr. Félix Mathieu (Political Science)
In speaking of Dr. Félix Mathieu, Dr. Joan Grace states that "students will learn much especially given his research expertise on Quebec politics, pluralism, multiculturalism and comparative federalism." (Photo supplied)
Here, we feature Dr. Félix Mathieu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science. Dr. Mathieu completed his PhD in Political Science at Université du Québec à Montréal before heading to Spain for a postdoctoral fellowship. While he hasn't lived in Manitoba long, Dr. Mathieu is already active with local news media, where he addresses political issues in English and French.
Dr. Joan Grace is Chair of the Department of Political Science. She shares that "The political science department welcomes Félix to UW and to Winnipeg. We are fortunate to have Félix teaching the Canadian politics courses and know that the students will learn much especially given his research expertise on Quebec politics, pluralism, multiculturalism and comparative federalism."
Please join us all in welcoming Dr. Mathieu to the Faculty of Arts. And thank you to him for providing his profile info and photo as below.
