Dr. Jennifer Hubbard, an Associate Professor of the History of Science and Technology, has taught in the Department of History at Toronto Metropolitan University since 1997 and taught at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Chang School for Continuing Education for eight years as well. Until 2001, she was also a part-time instructor at the University of Toronto, teaching history of biology and history of science courses for the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology.
In 2016 Dr. Hubbard published a co-edited volume: Jennifer Hubbard, David Wildish and Robert L. Stephenson, A Century of Maritime Science: The St. Andrews Biological Station, published by the University of Toronto Press (2016). She is a member of the North Atlantic Fisheries History Association, the North and is co-organising a oceanographic and fisheries science history conference to be held in Bergen, Norway, in 2019, honouring the birth of Johan Hjort, an eminent fisheries biologist, 150 years ago.
Dr. Hubbard currently is researching the development of fisheries biology and management following the Second World War as conducted through international bodies created to conserve fish stocks. Her work explores the economic and social and environmental ideas that underlie “biological” models for managing environmental resources. She also is writing a chapter on how the changing role of government influenced fisheries policy, for a book being produced under the auspices of the North Atlantic Fisheries History Association on the history of the North Atlantic Fisheries from 1850 to the present. Dr. Hubbard also is a member of the graduate faculty.
