Michael Bernard STEIN

Dr Stein was very kind and generous with his time. He supervised my undergraduate thesis and he was so helpful and together we won the essay prize for that year. He was a wonderful teacher and I will miss him enormously.

He and Janice were both very young profs teaching at Carleton at the time, Michael stoked my enthusiasm for Canadian government and politics and introduced me to the complexities of comparative federalism. He was always friendly and helpful and, unlike many profs, very approachable. Shortly after taking his courses, he turned his PhD thesis into a...
