André Turcotte serves as Associate Professor at Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communication and teaches in the Riddell Graduate Program in Political Management. His work integrates academic rigor with practical applications in political strategy, polling, and public opinion analysis.
Dr. Turcotte’s research centers on political communication dynamics, electoral behavior, and energy literacy in Canadian contexts. He employs mixed-method approaches to dissect voter trends and digital campaign impacts, with significant focus on how energy policy intersects with public understanding across Indigenous communities and corporate sectors. His scholarship bridges theoretical frameworks and real-world political strategy.
His publication trajectory reveals evolving expertise from foundational election analysis (2006-2010) toward contemporary digital politicking and energy communication (2012-2014). Key themes include the transformation of polling into strategic campaign tools, the rise of boutique populism, and cross-sector energy literacy challenges.
Dr. Turcotte mentors doctoral candidates including Senate Medal winner Vincent Raynauld (research on online politicking) and Senate Medal nominee William Fox (media effects in financial markets). His advisory approach emphasizes applying communication theories to political and market strategy challenges.
