Melanee Thomas is an Associate Professor in Political Science at the University of Calgary. Her research addresses the causes and consequences of gender-based political inequality, with a particular focus on political attitudes and behaviour. Her objectives are to identify how Canadians think about themselves in politics, explain how this is structured by gender, sexism, and racism, and then develop potential solutions that ameliorate and strengthen our democratic politics. Thomas’ work appears in Politics & Gender, Electoral Politics, Political Behaviour, Political Communication, and the Canadian Journal of Political Science.
