Bruno Dupeyron is a Professor and Graduate Chair at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Regina Campus. He also serves as an associate researcher at the Chaire de recherche en immigration, ethnicité et citoyenneté, UQAM. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Political Science from Institut d'Etudes Politiques / Groupe de Sociologie Politique Européenne (GSPE)-PRISME, CNRS-UMR 7012, Strasbourg, France (in co-supervision with Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain), an M.A. in Political Science from Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, France, a B.A. in Political Science, and an LLB in Law, both from Université Robert Schuman, Strasbourg, France.
Dr. Dupeyron's research focuses on border and immigration issues through political sociology and comparative perspectives. His work centers on two major streams: (1) the transformations of cross-border governance in North America and Europe, and (2) the regulation of mobility and security in North America. His scholarly approach combines theoretical frameworks with empirical analysis of cross-border regions, particularly examining the Rhine region and Pyrenees in Europe and Cascadia in North America. His research methodology often employs comparative case studies to identify patterns and develop border theories applicable across different geopolitical contexts.
His publication record shows a consistent focus on border studies, with recent work examining contemporary migration management, cross-border economic interactions, and the political dimensions of border security. His scholarship spans multiple continents and examines both European integration processes and North American border dynamics, creating valuable comparative insights. Dr. Dupeyron has secured significant research funding, including a major SSHRC Partnership Development Grant on cross-border governance.
