Stephanie McLean, director of research for Ipsos Reid in Canada, will present
the lecture. McLean conducts quantitative and qualitative research for a range
of public and private sector clients. With an academic background in quantitative
public opinion research, she is well versed in a wide variety of psychometric
data analysis techniques. Her research interests lie in quantitative political
psychology, including all public opinion, voting behavior, policy attitudes,
long-term public opinion trends, racial politics, and democratic and governmental
legitimacy.
The Saul O Sidore Memorial Lecture Series was established in 1965 in memory
of Saul O Sidore of Manchester, New Hampshire. The purpose of the series is
to offer the University community and the state of New Hampshire programs that
raise critical and sometimes controversial issues facing our society. The UNH
