In this podcast we speak with Mario Levesque, Associate Professor of Canadian Politics and Public Policy in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Mount Allison University. His teaching and research focus on Canadian politics and public policy, with interests in Atlantic Canadian politics and Lyme disease policy in Canada. He recently co-authored a paper with colleague Marilyn Cox called Small Wins for Those with Lyme Disease in Canada, Patients in an Embodied Health Movement. www.lookingatlyme.ca
Mario talks about his entry into policy work, navigating policy between the private sector and government. This early work sparked his interest and motivated him to learn more about public policy. After receiving his PhD in public policy, he started working in the area of disability policy, work that overlaps with the work he’s now doing regarding Lyme disease policy. After his conversations with Vett Lloyd of Mount Allison University, Mario developed an interest in studying Lyme disease policy in Canada.
