As a Research Analyst at The Plakhov Group, Liam is currently working on Quick Takes, Podcast Summaries, and Event Reports.

His research focuses on far-right populism, EU politics, and multilevel governance in Europe and the post-Soviet space. His current research examines the local governance strategies of far-right parties, with a particular emphasis on France, analyzing how they navigate mainstream political institutions while maintaining their populist appeal. He is especially interested in how far-right movements adapt their rhetoric and policy positions in response to local and national political dynamics. Additionality, his work also engages with questions of nationalism and the governance challenges facing de facto states and supranational institutions.

Liam is a current master’s student in European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at Carleton University. He obtained his BA (Honours) in Political Science from Brandon University.
