About
I recently completed my MA at the University of Guelph and am currently studying at the University of Victoria. My MA major research paper explored the socio-economic dimensions of Brudenell township, a small frontier settlement in eastern Ontario in 1871, using complete count data from the census of that year. In my PhD, I will continue to study rurality in Canada (especially around the turn of the 20th century) and the experiences of settlement and development, while also taking an interest in cultural theory and the use of digital resources in researching and studying history and in disseminating historical knowledge.
