Shaukat Ansari
Biography
I completed my doctorate at the University of Toronto, where I specialized in International Relations, Comparative Political Economy, and Development. Prior to beginning my position as the McCain Postdoctoral Fellow, I held the McKenna Postdoc Fellowship at Mount Allison University. My dissertation examined the persistence of market orthodoxy in post-apartheid South Africa over a 25-year period, with a focus on the country's integration into the global capital markets following the democratic elections. My current research and teaching interests are at the intersection of critical political economy, international relations, and development.
