Welcome to Stuart Parker’s blog, where his work in progress is posted. Completed articles and article series are typically published in academic journals, online and print media or through organizations with which Stuart is affiliated like the Movement for Voter Equality, Los Altos Institute or Fair Vote Canada.
For those who have stumbled across this blog because of its content, Stuart is a former leader of the BC Green Party, prominent activist for electoral reform, active NDP member and lecturer in history at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. His full bio is posted here and his CV can be found here.
Currently, Stuart is working on two major article series that he hopes to develop into larger, more connected works. The first, Reimagining the Political Geography of Community, reconsiders the sacred cows of progressive and leftist ideas of municipal politics. The second, The Age of Authenticity, reconsiders the hyper-partisanship between US Democrats and Republicans in terms of an epistemological (vs. ideological) divide.
In addition, the site contains a variety of articles on politics, culture and religion that have been grouped into a few categories. For the whole blog in order of publication, check out the Latest Articles page.
