Kristen Pue, Ph.D., is a senior policy analyst and former academic focusing on social policy, health and well-being, and climate resilience.
I am currently a Senior Policy Analyst in the federal government. From 2020 to 2021, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in philanthropy and nonprofit studies at Carleton University’s School of Public Policy and Administration. I have a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Toronto.
My Ph.D. dissertation examined the relationship between welfare nonprofitization and service expansiveness in Canada and the U.K.
I also co-host a podcast called the Pullback Podcast.
Pullback is a podcast that explores big new ideas and asks: is this a real solution or a distraction? Our first 101 episodes focused on ethical issues behind everyday choices, and ethical movements, labels, and lifestyles. In our new season we cover ideas that proponents say will address global problems like inequality and climate change.
