Bio/Research
I am a Canadian historian whose research gravitates to topics on humans' past relations with nature: environmental history. To me, this is a field too pertinent to present-day concerns, and too interesting, to stay within the academic domain. My attempt to describe and lobby for the field can be found in "An Introduction, in Theory and Practice," in Method and Meaning in Canadian Environmental History (2009).
Much of my time these days is spent as director of NiCHE, which works to assist Canadian environmental history researchers in developing their projects, to facilitate collaboration, and to make the field better known to governments, public history organizations, environmental groups, and the public.
I am also involved in two environmental history book series. I am editing a new Canadian History & Environment series for University of Calgary Press. Notably, the books are being produced simultaneously in print and as free, open-access online publications; the first book in the series is A Century of Parks Canada, 1911-2011. I am also on the editorial board of the University of Massachusetts Press's new The Environmental History of the Northeast series
