About
My interests in research and graduate supervision lie in the social, cultural, and intellectual history of 19th and 20th century Canada. I have published three major research monographs, most recently THE CATHOLIC ORIGINS OF QUEBEC'S QUIET REVOLUTION, 1931-1970 (2005) and co-edited three collective works. These works have earned major scholarly book prizes, most notably the Sir John A. Macdonald Prize of the Canadian Historical Association (2006). Currently, I am working on a biography of Claude Ryan, Catholic activist, journalist, and politician as a prism exploring the religious, cultural, and political transformations of Quebec in the five decades between 1945 and 2000. In terms of graduate teaching, I offer courses in historiography, the cultural history of religion in Canada, and the cultural history of the postwar in transatlantic perspective. I am especially interested in supervising students at both MA and PhD levels wanting to pursue topics in Canadian cultural, religious, and intellectual history spanning the period 1791-1982.
