Jared Wesley is Associate Dean (Education), Co-Director of the Peter Lougheed School of Politics and Democracy, a professor of political science and member of the Black Faculty Collective at the University of Alberta.
Jared specializes in the comparative analysis of provincial politics, with a particular focus on political culture and public opinion.
He leads the Common Ground initiative -- a long-term research project aimed at examining the gap between who Western Canadians are and who they see themselves to be. His team uses Viewpoint Alberta surveys to analyze public opinion, and focus groups to compare those individual attitudes to the norms and values that underpin politics in the region.
Jared has co-authored the award-winning No I in Team: Party Loyalty in Canadian Politics (University of Toronto Press) and two practical accounts of Canadian politics: Inside Canadian Politics (published by Oxford University Press) and The Public Servant’s Guide to Government in Canada (University of Toronto Press). These top-selling books blend practitioner and academic perspectives, offering students and the general public an accessible view of Canadian democracy and government.
Jared has served in various academic and non-partisan public service roles throughout his career. Most recently, he served as director of intergovernmental relations, senior manager of cabinet coordination, and director of learning and development with the Government of Alberta.
A sought after speaker, Jared has delivered hundreds presentations as a panelist, roundtable presenter, and keynote speaker on topics related to his research, academic and public sector career and professional development, negotiation, policy-development, and academic-public sector collaboration.
