I work broadly on topics of social, political, and medical history. I studied at UVic, 91社区, and the University of Toronto, and worked at Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine in London, and Queen鈥檚 University in Kingston before returning to 91社区. 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.
Canadian history, modern medical history.
