Larry Savage, Associate Professor of Labour Studies, Brock University

Larry Savage’s research focuses on the politics of the Canadian labour movement. In particular, his recent research has focused on the ways in which labour unions engage with the NDP specifically, and electoral politics more generally. Dr. Savage has published scholarly articles or book chapters on the changing nature of party-union relationships, union-sponsored strategic voting schemes, and labour's varied engagement with local, provincial and federal politics.
Dr. Savage also co-maintains RethinkingLabour.ca, a knowledge mobilization website which explores the relationship between workers, unions and politics.
