SSHRC RDI on Policy Positions in Newfoundland and Labrador

Dr. Kelly Blidook and I were recently awarded a SSHRC Research Development Initiative Grant to conduct research on the policy positions of political parties in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The two year project will entail conducting one expert survey this autumn and a second survey before the 2011 provincial election. We also intend to run an identical survey for political science students at Memorial University in order to test their political awareness of the current provincial political parties.
