Teaching
I teach a range of subjects in the history of Canada and North America including social history,
the history of Quebec, historiography, health history, the history of madness, and nationalism and
identity.
I am currently writing a book based on SSHRC funding that explores the history of civil law and
mental health in trans-Atlantic perspective.
