PhD Student, McMaster University

Anwar Sheluchin

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in political science at McMaster University. My research interests broadly include Canadian and comparative politics, elections, public opinion, financial governance, and digital currencies. My doctoral research involves investigating the extent to which different types of election issues elicit a particular logic among political elites and mass publics in Canada.

I hold the position of Doctoral Fellow at McMaster University’s Digital Society Lab, where I am actively engaged in research at the intersection of technology and politics. Within this research environment, I examine public attitudes toward digital currencies.
