Trent University guest lecture appearance February 2021


Text poster advertising Politics During a Pandemic Guest Lecture
I was invited by Trent University, Ontario to give a guest lecture to a Poli 100 undergrad class about the experience of campaigning for a provincial election candidate during a pandemic in 2020. My candidate ran in a highly-contested riding, Vancouver-Langara (British Columbia, Canada) against a strong incumbent. While we didn’t win this riding, our election results were among the closest and tightest in the province. I shared with the students some lessons about campaigning over Zoom, a healthy campaign culture, digital organizing, and protecting mental health against burnout.
