He commonly leads sections Comparative Historical Sociology, one of the three methods courses offered in sociology.

His doctoral and postdoctoral research on the comparative history of American and Canadian health policy was published as The Making and Meaning of Hospital Policy in the United States and Canada, appearing in 1999 under the imprint of the University of Michigan Press. More recently Boychuk has devoted his attention to a study of the historical development of public regulation of private charities in the UK, US, and Canada.
