Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences 2010: Cybermetrically ranking Canada's premiers

The Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is an annual gathering of scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners to exchange ideas and nurture groundbreaking research. This year's Congress is being held at Concordia University in Montreal, with "connected understanding" as its overriding theme.

JP Lewis is a doctoral Political Science student at Carleton University. His lecture explains the strategem behind his numerically-based ranking of Canadian premiers from 1980 to present. Lewis's explains the in-depth ranking system -- with everything taken into consideration from political party to personal legacy -- and, of course, which premiers came out on top of the analysis.

This lecture was recorded by Tariq Jeeroburkhan.
