About

I am an archivist and scholar of Canadian history and politics, with a PhD from Queen’s University.

Specifically, I am an Archivist in the Private Sector Records unit of the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick; an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of History at St. Thomas University; and and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of New Brunswick, where I was formerly a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow.

My ongoing research focuses on the histories and politics of “race”, “whiteness,” immigration, and multiculturalism in Canada. In addition to my monograph, The Racial Mosaic (MQUP), my research has been published in the Canadian Historical Review, Settler Colonial Studies, Études canadiennes/Canadian Studies, Canadian Military History, History Compass, and the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Migration.

I have published works for a general readership in venues such as ActiveHistory, the Canadian Encyclopedia, Canadian Issues/Thèmes canadiens, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography (forthcoming), the Walrus, and the Winnipeg Free Press.
