Christopher D. Gore

I’m a Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). I’m also a member of the graduate Environmental Applied Science and Management program and an associate of the Centre for Studies in Food Security.

My teaching and research focus on the comparative politics, policy and administration of cities, regions, the environment and infrastructure. Geographically, my work has focused on Canada and Africa, but particularly three East African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

I am an Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of African Studies.

I have served in many university administrative roles, including Department Chair/Head from 2016-2020.

I read, speak and understand French at an advanced level.

My hobbies include many outdoor activities (canoeing and hiking in particular), recreational hockey and beekeeping.
