Scope and content
Series consist of records documenting Nevitte’s various professional activities outside his role as a professor at the University of Toronto. The records include presentation notes and other materials from participation in conferences and workshops; correspondence and notes on refereed articles; correspondence, notes and draft reports related to an external review of the Institute of Social Research at York University’s 2014 – 2019 ORSU re-charter application; a contract with CBC.
Digital files consist of records relating to Nevitte’s work on two Canadian court cases in 2013 and 2020. He provided expert testimony on the use of statistical theory to detect elections fraud during the high-profile McEwing v. Can. (A.G.), 2013 case which addressed robocall-related voter suppression during the 2011 Canadian federal election. He also provided expert commentary on the methods used to survey potential jurors for the R v. Wright, 2020 murder case.
