Logan Liut

I am an incoming Master of Science (MSc) student in Political Science at Leiden University, specializing in Nationalism, Ethnic Conflict, and Development. I recently graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) from Victoria College in the University of Toronto, where I majored in political science and minored in theology and European affairs. A recipient of multiple academic awards, I completed my undergraduate studies with high distinction, benefitting from a strong interdisciplinary foundation and opportunities to conduct independent research.

My research interests lie at the crossroads of political science and theology, with particular attention to how religious traditions shape political conflict, national development, and collective identity. During my undergraduate degree, I published peer-reviewed original research in this area, including a comparative analysis of 20th-century liturgical reforms in the Latin Catholic and Anglican Churches and a brief study of polarization within contemporary Catholicism in the pontificate of Francis. More publications are forthcoming.

In addition to my academic work, I have developed extensive professional experience in civic education and public engagement, especially using the tools of social media. Notably, as the former national coordinator for social media and youth outreach for the Monarchist League of Canada, I worked closely with viceregal offices and federal, provincial, and municipal governments to promote informed civic literacy regarding Canada’s constitutional monarchy, and I continue to advise the League on strategic communications and outreach initiatives. I also am currently a lay leader in the Anglican Church of Canada, Canada’s third largest Christian denomination, where I serve as a member both of General Synod — the highest legislative body of Canada’s third largest Christian denomination — and the Synod of the Diocese of Toronto. I have also previously served on the Toronto regional board of Acfas, Canada’s French-language learned society, and acted as a national ambassador for linguistical dualism with French for the Future.

At a crucial time, he engaged himself in making the first organized attempts to promote the Canadian Crown by using to good advantage the tools of social media. Logan also was the translator of the entire Coronation Ritual into French, so that for the first time it could be read in both official languages of our nation.

In recognition of “significant contribution to Canada,” I was recently awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal. My commentary and leadership have also been recognized in national media, with features on CityNews, Radio-Canada, and CHOQ FM 105,1, Toronto’s French-language radio station, among others.
