Dr. Christian Morin Elliott, Political Scientist

I am currently a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University's Climate Solutions Lab. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Toronto, where I held the SSHRC Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship from 2020-2023. 

My research focuses on how the environmental impacts of market actors are governed beyond borders, especially for banks, insurance companies, and pensions. I'm also interested in the effects of global governance complexity, and how public and private authorities collaborate or compete in the climate regime. 

My work has been published in the Review of International Political Economy, Regulation & Governance, and International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law, and Economics, among other journals. I have also contributed chapters to edited volumes: Uncertainty in Global Politics (2023, Routledge) and The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Environmental Politics (2021, Oxford University Press).
