Since 2015, Dr. Leroux has been studying the changing dynamics of white, French-descendant identities in the 21st century, particularly as it pertains to increasing claims to "Indigenous" identities among this group. His book, Distorted Descent: White Claims to Indigenous Identity, was selected as one of the ten most influential books published by the University of Manitoba Press in the past decade. His research continues to push the boundaries in the study of white identities, and as such, he is widely sought after as a public speaker on matters related to contemporary forms of settler colonialism.

Research information:

I am mostly working on the French early modern philosophy, which means the thought of philosophers from the sixteenth (Montaigne), seventeenth (Descartes, Malebranche) and eighteenth (Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot) centuries (enlightenment). The questions I work on are those related to imagination as a faculty of the mind, that is, surrounding knowledge (epistemology) and creativity (aesthetics) ; and those related to historical progress.

Research information:

My current research focuses on the relations between transnational economic integration ("globalization") and social determinants of health: the conditions under which people live and work. How is the emergence of a global marketplace affecting opportunities to lead a healthy life? Who wins, and who loses? How will the worldwide financial crisis we are now experiencing affect health disparities between rich and poor?
