Biography

Robert Schertzer researches and teaches intersections of federalism, judicial politics, and ethno-national diversity, with a tendency to look at Canada from a broadly comparative perspective. He is the author of 'Judicial Role in a Diverse Federation: Lessons from the Supreme Court of Canada' (University of Toronto Press, 2016), which was shortlisted for the Donald Smiley Prize, and co-editor of 'Nationalism and Conflict Management' (Routledge, 2012). His work has been published in journals such as Nations and Nationalism, Commonwealth & Comparative Politics, Canadian Journal of Political Science, Publius, and the International Journal of Constitutional Law. As a founding co-editor of the open-access portal 'State Nationalism', he reviews articles on the study of nationalism. Before joining the University of Toronto, Robert spent a decade working for the Government of Canada, mainly in areas of social policy and intergovernmental relations.
