- Dissertation topic: Institutionalizing Eugenics: Class, Gender, and Education in Nova Scotia's Eugenic Policies 1910-1960. My research explores the twentieth century eugenics policies in Nova Scotia through the multiple lenses of class, gender, and education to examine how these categories impacted the decision to pursue institutionalization rather than sterilization in the province.

- Dissertation topic: My dissertation explores the continual interplay between indigenous worldviews and Western Christianity over a five-hundred year period in the municipality of Esquipulas in eastern Guatemala, with an emphasis on shrines and the phenomenon of pilgrimage. My interest in this topic extends across all of the Americas, and it focuses on ways in which indigenous spiritual practices inform and ultimately alter the manner in which non-indigenous peoples practice and approach Christianity.
- Other academic interests: Aboriginal/Indigenous/Native studies; religious hybridity; Catholic colonialism in the Americas; counter-discourse/counter-hegemony

- Dissertation topic: State and Community in Guatemala. My research will examine the continuing nature of pressure on community resources in several Guatemalan communities from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century. This pressure may help explain contemporary tension between these communities and the state in Guatemala. My research will include an exploration of the community identity that often forms around struggles to resist dispossession of resources.

- Dissertation Topic: Data-mining the Legacy of Natural History on the Northern Great Plains
19th century natural history, more commonly known as inventory science, is enjoying a revival in environmental history circles. Once dismissed as antiquated and lacking in theoretical vigour, the massive collections of plants, birds, and animals are now being used today to measure temporal and geographic change in diversity. In this project, I will apply new technological and analytical methods to a study of the Missouri Coteau, located in the heart of the great plains of North America. I will compile and analyze recent statistical and modelling work on the climatic cycles, changes in flora and fauna populations, human migration paths, and land use methods in the Coteau, and compare the results with the existing narratives, emphasizing concurrent landscape use by aboriginal groups. I will also incorporate the numerous early specimens in the herbaria of the universities of Saskatchewan, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana; the records of the amateur Natural History societies in Saskatchewan and North Dakota; and ornithological data. Synthesized, this will contribute to the historical baseline used to measure changes in land use and ecology over the past two centuries. After a ‘snapshot’ of the region is assembled, the role of amateurism in the study and development of the region will be examined in greater detail, including aspects of the political and legal apparatus that permitted science expeditions to be undertaken, the funding and recruitment drives that were required, and the instructional literature on collecting that was circulated. The interaction between naturalists, government, universities, museums, and herbaria will be emphasized.
