Across the Detroit River

My dissertation poses the question of why white working-class voters in Ontario have largely maintained their preference for left-wing political parties, while white working-class voters across the American Midwest have shifted their support significantly to Trump and the Republican Party. I investigate this electoral divergence using an original survey, a conjoint experiment, and qualitative fieldwork in Windsor, Ontario and Macomb County, Michigan. A copy of the dissertation is available upon request.
