Current research: 

As a historical geographer, I work at the intersection of economy, culture and environment. Early projects dealt with forest history 鈥 pricing water, railways as tree-planters, and traditions of response to risk. More recent projects focus entirely on cities: the creation of environments that advantage some citizens over others.聽 In terms of method, my work addresses two challenges:

The first is the problem of connecting 鈥渕icro鈥 with 鈥渕acro鈥 analysis. 聽For a miniaturized model of the population of Montreal, we reconstituted families from parish records of births, deaths and marriages, to explore survival rates, fertility, and migrant behaviour. The sample, amounting to a thousand married couples, allowed comparison of three cultural communities 鈥 French Canadian, Anglo-Protestant, and Irish Catholic.

The second challenge 鈥 to visualize our living-spaces as 鈥渇our-dimensional鈥 鈥 is best shown in the Montreal HGIS of the MAP team: an array of databases integrated as geographic information systems. For putting homes, workplaces, and institutions on the map, 聽our layers are richest for 1825, 1846, 1880, and 1901. Data are available to all scholars for exchange, enrichment, and exploration, in searchable formats.
