Biography: 

I work broadly on topics of social, political, and medical history. I studied at UVic, ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, and the University of Toronto, and worked at Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine in London, and Queen’s University in Kingston before returning to ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. Recent books are A Short History of the State in Canada (UTP 2015); Tax, Order, and Good Government: A New Political History of Canada, 1867-1917 (MQUP 2017); Civilization: From Enlightenment Philosophy to Canadian History (2022). My books try to write state formation, political economy, and social history more squarely into classic Canadian political history.

Graduate supervision: 

Canadian history, modern medical history.
