Liam O'Brien

I am a PhD Student in Political Science at Carleton University, focusing in Canadian Politics and Public Policy. I hold MA degrees from Carleton University and Universität Luzern, along with a BSocSc from the University of Ottawa. 

Using qualitative research and intersectionality-based policy analysis, my PhD research questions identity, orders of government, and marginalized health. I work to reconsider gaps in policy and intergovernmentalism. Specifically, my research is heavily rooted in the Canadian HIV landscape. 

Beyond academia, I hold extensive professional experience in both political and community arenas. Raised in rural Newfoundland and Labrador, I now reside in Ottawa.
