Dr. Brodie’s research critically engages with many of the core challenges in Canadian politics and public policy: gender equality, political representation, regionalism, citizenship, social policy, globalization, continental integration and transformations in governance.

She also is the co-editor of Critical Concepts: An Introduction to Politics, now in its fourth edition. Dr. Brodie has published in a wide range of national and international scholarly journals, and she has written over sixty book chapters, most recently investigating the multiple and complex effects of neoliberal governing practices on gender and politics, social citizenship, and public policy. Dr Brodie’s current research focuses on citizenship and social governance, gendered public policy and North American integration. She teaches doctoral core courses in both Canadian Politics and Social Theory and Research Methodologies.
