His academic foundation includes a Ph.D. from the University of Guelph (2017), complemented by an M.A. (2011) and B.Soc.Sc. (2009) from the University of Ottawa.
His educational trajectory features:
- Ph.D., University of Guelph (2017)

Gagnon's scholarship critically examines 19th-20th century Québec historical trajectories and Francophone minority community dynamics through the lenses of social movements, institutional evolution, and collective memory. His work reveals how political ruptures—from the Quiet Revolution to contemporary federalism debates—reshape national celebrations and identity formation, particularly through meticulous analysis of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day transformations and labor movement histories. This research bridges archival depth with theoretical frameworks in nationalism studies and historical sociology.
His publication pattern (2013-2021) demonstrates sustained engagement with Québec's political-cultural metamorphosis, featuring collaborative work with scholars like Yves Frenette on Canadian labor history and Raymond Mougeon on Franco-Ontarian communities. Key venues include Labour/Le Travail, Québec Studies, and University of Toronto Press anthologies, with recurring themes of symbolic politics, minority resilience, and commemorative practices across Francophone North America.
