Aaron Erlich

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at McGill University, where I am a member of the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CSDC) and a founding member of the Centre for Social and Cultural Data Science (CSCDS). I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Broadly speaking, I am interested in democratization and democratic development. Much of my research addresses the role that information plays in developing democratic polities. I am also interested in advancing quantitative methods to measure the effect of information.
