Emmanuel Choquette serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at Université de Sherbrooke, concurrently holding the position of Master's Program Coordinator for the course-based track in International Political Communication and Democratic Risks. His academic profile integrates political science and communication scholarship with direct societal applications.
His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Political Science from Université de Montréal, a Master's in Applied Political Studies from Université de Sherbrooke, and a multidisciplinary Bachelor's degree (communication and politics) from Université de Sherbrooke.
Research focuses on political communication dynamics, discursive strategies, social cohesion challenges, Canadian/Quebec politics, and humor studies. He examines how humor functions in stereotype deconstruction, radicalism prevention, and identity negotiation within Quebec's multicultural context, particularly through digital discourse analysis of online hate speech and conspiracy theories.
His 14 publications (2010-2022) reveal evolving interdisciplinary trajectories: early work on digital political communication expanded into humor-based interventions against extremism, with recent emphasis on counter-narrative efficacy. The corpus bridges political science, sociology, and media studies while maintaining Quebec-specific sociopolitical grounding.
No formal scientific awards or fellowships are documented in the source material.
As Master's Program Coordinator, he oversees curriculum development in political communication. Current grant funding includes a CA$15,000 FRQSC startup grant (2022-2023) investigating humor as anti-radicalism tool among youth exposed to online hate speech, and a CA$50,000 Defence Canada MINDS grant (2021-2023) analyzing virtual counter-narrative effectiveness against violent extremism.
He maintains active research affiliations with the Groupe de recherche en communication politique (GRCP), Centre de l’étude pour la citoyenneté démocratique (CÉCD), Observatoire de l’humour, and UNESCO Chair PREV team, facilitating cross-institutional collaborations on democratic citizenship and humor-based social interventions.
