Research information:
My research bears on the different aspects of Canadian identity and on the emergence of a field of research specifically dealing with Canada. I am also interested on ethnicity in Canada, issues on a Quebec and national level, election results in Quebec and Canada, on the Jewish community of Canada and Montréal, and more precisely on anti-Semitism, secularism, linguistic integration and racism in Canadian society. I also specialize on Canadian Yiddish literature and Canadian Yiddish culture.
