카지노 게임 컬렉션�Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and Canada have lost a great political scientist in Ned Franks. He had a long career which included mentoring many students who have gone on to distinguished careers in academia, the public service, journalism, and politics,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Principal and Vice-Chancellor Daniel Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�An expert on Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s parliamentary system he served as a regular adviser to government and media. He also participated in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s governance, most recently on the former Campus Planning and Development Committee.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Born in Toronto, Dr. Franks attended Upper Canada College, earned his BA (1959) and MA (1965) from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, and his DPhil from Oxford.

He returned to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s as an assistant professor in 1967 after working for several years with the Government of Saskatchewan, including a stint as clerk assistant of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly.

Throughout his career at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, Dr. Franks카지노 게임 컬렉션� influence and reputation was felt well beyond the university and his advice and insight were regularly sought out by fellow scholars, governments, and media.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�He was a kind of larger-than-life figure both here in the department but also in the scholarly community and beyond. His intellectual breadth was incredibly broad and deep. He had a passion for knowledge,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Jonathan Rose, an associate professor in Political Studies. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t know any other political scientist who has written respected books on canoeing and Parliament. His sense of wonderment about things beyond and outside of the narrow discipline of political studies was incredibly refreshing and demonstrated a love of learning about the world.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Dr. Franks was Dr. Rose카지노 게임 컬렉션�s supervisor during his master카지노 게임 컬렉션�s studies at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and later became his colleague when he joined the Department of Political Studies. He was strongly influenced by Dr. Franks카지노 게임 컬렉션� sense of rigour and the importance of precision in scholarship.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Here was an academic who continued the best tradition of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, which is to make connections between policy making and scholarship,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Rose says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I think one of the reasons Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s politics is respected in Ottawa is because of this close connection and regular advice that scholars like Ned would provide governments of all political stripes.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In addition to more than 100 articles and chapters in books, Dr. Franks wrote or edited 14 books and monographs, including , , and .
