Julien Lefort-Favreau explores print nationalism, the government-funded system that keeps Canadian publishing alive, and the new pressures it faces from neoliberalism, Amazon, and algorithm-driven culture. His research considers why literature remains central to Canada's public life and how publishing connects to democracy, freedom of speech, and the idea of culture as a public good. Julien was the JHI's 2024-25 Visiting Public Humanities Faculty Fellow.
