Biography

Karine Levasseur completed her PhD in Public Policy at Carleton University in 2009. She holds a Master of Public Administration from the University of Manitoba (2001) and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the same institution (1994). As a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Manitoba, she specializes in public administration with a focus on collaborative governance, accountability, state-civil society relations, and social policy. Her research investigates the challenges faced by public administration in Canada, particularly in diversifying the traditional focus on bureaucratic and elected officials, amidst changes in governance structures involving non-state actors, such as charities and Indigenous communities. Her work explores the implications of these changes for policy capacity and accountability, advocating for a model of governance where non-state actors play a pivotal role in policy-making processes. This includes examining how collaborative decision-making can enhance public policy outcomes and ensure a voice for all stakeholders involved.
