Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincent Boucher is a PhD candidate in Political Science at Université Laval and a SSHRC-funded researcher specializing in radicalization, deradicalization, surveillance, and social activism in contexts of rising authoritarianism. He combines ethnographic and autoethnographic digital fieldwork—notably on TikTok’s role in right‑wing mobilization—with classroom teaching and policy-facing research at the Roméo Dallaire Research Chair. His award-winning MA work tested algorithmic pathways to extremism and his dissertation will examine lived experiences and emotional drivers of resistance across North American movements. Fluent in French, English, and trained in Mandarin and Chinese studies, he brings comparative and multilingual perspective to online and offline fieldwork. With ten years of varied research, teaching, and industry experience, he moves comfortably between rigorous qualitative methods and public-facing scholarship. Less obvious: he pairs early commercial roles in sales and business development with deep academic credentials, giving him a rare ability to translate research findings into strategic recommendations.
