Biography:
Originally from Victoria, I studied history at UVic, McGill, and the University of Toronto, and worked in London (Eng) and Kingston before coming back to Montreal. I’ve written five books, most recently 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 (MQUP 2022). I am currently working on the biography of a Montreal-born economist, the book provisionally titled “Jacob Viner, Chicago Economics, and the American Century.”
Graduate supervision:
Canadian history, modern medical history.
