I am an environmental historian and historical geographer working on the Canadian past. I am particularly concerned with human-environment relations on the Canadian prairies. Water is of special interest to me, as are the actions of government institutions. I have applied historical methods to the study of environmental planning efforts by both provincial and federal governments.
In July 2006, I completed a Ph.D. in Geography at the University of British Columbia. From September 2006 to August 2008, I held a Grant Notley postdoctoral fellowship. Currently, I am a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta. I have also received a postdoctoral grant through the Kule Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Alberta.
