‡

My main areas of research are in the social history of early modern England. I am especially interested in the social and cultural history of violence in London and the metropolis in the period 1750-1850. After my graduate work at the University of Toronto, I taught at the University of Guelph before coming to the University of Mantioba in 2000. I am originally from Vancouver and was an undergraduate at U.B.C. back when the Powder Blues band was playing gigs for world disarmament.

I am the Chair of the History Graduate program, responsible for the Pre-MA, Joint Master's Program (with the University of Winnipeg) and PhD program. I am also co-organizer of the Law and Society Research Cluster in the University of Manitoba Institute for the Humanities.
