Diminished coursework

For every term of my PhD so far, I have been enrolled in two classes, and sometimes auditing one or more additional classes.

This term, during which I need to complete my formal dissertation proposal, I am planning to take only one. I have completed essentially all of the coursework requirements for the PhD, though I expect to continue taking courses for the duration of the program. One of the nice things about U of T is that it is packed with star professors, and there is nothing to stop anyone who can pass as a student from attending any of their lectures.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.
