In this episode of Novus Sanity Check, Torbjörn Sjöström meets sociology professor Claire Durand from the Université de Montréal, internationally recognized for her research on election surveys and the practices of democracy. Claire Durand has, among other roles, served on AAPOR’s committee for evaluating opinion polls in U.S. elections and has presented analyses on methodological differences, such as between telephone and web surveys, at AAPOR conferences.
The main theme of the episode is democracy. Torbjörn Sjöström and Claire Durand reflect on the survey industry’s crucial role in neutrally supporting democratic processes. They delve into how voting systems can create unequal representation and discuss international examples where people are prevented from voting, along with other insights on the development of democracy from Claire’s research.
