Matt Polacko

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Political Science, at the University of Calgary. I hold a PhD in Politics from Royal Holloway, University of London (2021). My research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, political economy, and political behaviour. I am particularly interested in the consequences of inequality on political behaviour across advanced industrialized countries.

My research has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada, Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQSC), and Royal Holloway, University of London.

I've published in American Behavioral Scientist; Canadian Journal of Political Science; Electoral Studies; European Political Science Review; Party Politics; Political Studies; Politics & Policy; Politics, Groups & Identities; Statistics, Politics & Policy; and West European Politics.
