Measuring Democracy

My name is Nick Knoop, I’m a 4th year political science major doing my best to graduate in May. Working on going to law school, but that is still a bit up in the air at this point.

From the US originally, came to Canada to experience something different and ski some Whistler powder. I’m a Boston sports fan, my family is from there and I’ve grown up watching the Sox and Celtics… And after living in Canada, I have learned that SportsCenter and SportsCentre are two entirely different things.

I am looking forward to this class: I love the idea that the work we are doing is current, as we see democracy developing, failing, and evolving everyday in the news. I feel like the fundamental question of politics is figuring out how true and accurate the democratic process really is, and I’m sure that is a question we will confront often in this class.
