Christopher D. Gore

I am the Associate Dean, Research and Grant Development, Faculty of Arts, Toronto Metropolitan University. I am also Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University.

My teaching and research focus on the comparative politics, policy, and administration of cities, regions, the environment and infrastructure. Geographically, my work has focused on Canada and Africa, but particularly three East African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

I am an Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of African Studies.

I have served in several leadership roles, including Department Chair/Head from 2016-2020; undergraduate program director and graduate program director.

I read, speak and understand French at an advanced level.

My hobbies include outdoor activities (canoeing and hiking in particular), recreational hockey, and beekeeping.
