I’m a Professor in History and Youth and Children’s Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. My past and current research focuses on the history of Canadian women’s political activism, the Cold War peace movement in North America, youth’s responses to the threat of nuclear war, the history of adoption.
I am the author of two books Our Voices Must Be Heard: Women and the Vote in Ontario (UBC Press, 2018) and Cold War Comforts: Canadian Women, Child Safety, and Global Insecurity (WLU Press, 2012). I have also published chapters in numerous collections and articles in Canada’s History, Canadian Historical Review, Journal of Popular Culture, Journal of the History of Children and Youth, and the Journal of the Canadian Historical Association.
Currently, I’m working on a SSHRC-funded book project, Experiments in Peace: Families, Activism & State Representatives on Grindstone Island, a series of articles revisiting the childhood Polio panic and public health in Brantford, Brant County, and Six Nations of the Grand River, 1920-1975 and a project called Students from Care Speak Out! Reflections on Navigating University Supports.
