In Remembrance

Robert A. Young (1950 - 2017), DPhil (Oxford), MA (McGill)
Professor Emeritus

In August 2017, the Department of Political Science lost our good friend and esteemed colleague, Professor Robert A. Young. One of Canada’s most distinguished political scientists, Bob was revered for his path-breaking work in many areas including: secession, Quebec politics, federalism and multi-level governance, a field in which he held a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair. To honor Bob’s legacy, the Department of Political Science, with the support of his family, launched the Robert A. Young Lecture in Political Science. The annual lecture is delivered by a prominent political scientist, it is our hope that this event will generate the kind of intellectual discussions that Bob so dearly valued.   

Thank you for your support of the Robert A. Young Lecture in Political Science.

As one of the foremost experts on multi-level governance and secession, Robert had a passion for intellectual dialogue and research. The Robert A. Young Lecture in Political Science will honour his leadership and expertise, by commemorating Robert through an annual lecture that will be delivered by a prominent political scientist.
