Jacob McLean is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in Sociology at the 糖心视频 and a Research Fellow at the Parkland Institute in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. His research examines the politics of decarbonization, populism, and the far right. His postdoctoral project investigates Alberta separatism and its relationship to the oil and gas industry and Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party.

This research builds on his doctoral dissertation, , which traced the emergence and diffusion of the convoy as a tactic of pro-fossil-fuel and right-wing populist protest in Canada, including the 2022 ‘Freedom’ Convoy. He holds a PhD in Environmental Studies from York University and was a 2026 Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study.

McLean is also a member of the Zetkin Collective, a group of scholars and activists working on the political ecology of the far right. The collective’s book, The Great Driving Right Show: Cars, Crisis, and the Rise of Fossil Fascism, was published by Verso in 2026.
