Daniel Dorman (BA, 2019)
Distinguished Alumni Horizon Award, 2024
Daniel Dorman, who earned a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Theology and English from Tyndale, is currently the Managing Editor and Director of Operations at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, a leading public policy think tank based in Ottawa. He earned an MA in English from the University of Ottawa, focusing his Master's research on providing a conservative, Christian response to Critical Theory through the writings of G.K. Chesterton. He then worked as a Legislative Assistant to a Member of Parliament, and staffed the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Other work included a brief stint with Partners International, which allowed him to support church planting work across the globe, and to travel into Ukraine as part of a humanitarian aid mission in the Fall of 2022. Daniel has published a range of both literary and theological essays as well as political op-eds. In all his writing Daniel has sought to address culturally and politically sensitive issues (such as gender identity ideology in the courts or the legal history of euthanasia in Canada) from a reasoned, persuasive Christian perspective. Daniel is also a Christian singer-songwriter and folk musician who has released a handful of original songs that have garnered hundreds of thousands of streams in more than 75 countries worldwide.
