About me

Alexandre Fortier-Chouinard

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Université Laval’s Center for Public Policy Analysis (CAPP). I own a PhD in political science from the University of Toronto. I also work as a data scientist for the Canadian and Quebec Polimeters. I specialize in Canadian politics, political engagement, campaign promise fulfillment, quantitative methods, and citizenship education. My work with the CLESSN has included developing R functions, Shiny apps and weighting formulas for the Vote Compass, Quorum Project, Radar+, and more. My PhD dissertation examined the role of parents and peers in the transmission of interest in politics to children.
