About

I am a lecturer in the Economics Department.

My undergraduate studies were in economics, history and philosophy at the University of Victoria (BC).  I developed a concern for interdisciplinary scholarship from studies undertaken with Malcolm Rutherford (Econ), Ian MacPherson (Hist), Radhika Desai (PSci) and Jan Zwicky (Phil) at UVic in the 1990s.

Aiming to become an economic historian, I pursued an MA in Economics at the University of Toronto.  Unable to settle down at U of T, I sought a broader historical view of the economy by completing an MA at York and a PhD at McMaster in History.  My dissertation committee was comprised of Richard Harris (supervisor – Geog), Michael Gauvreau and Ruth Frager (Hist), and John Fox (Soc).

Since graduating in 2011, I have been teaching at the University of Waterloo, and am an impassioned student of economic history and the history of economics.
