About Me

I am historian of migration, economic development, and Indigenous-settler and Indigenous-crown relations. I am the former Director of the Centre for Scottish Studies at Simon Fraser University where I was also a Shadbolt Endowment Chair, a Shadbolt Fellow in the Humanities, and a limited term Assistant Professor in the Department of History. I have been published in the media on topics such as Scotland’s relationship to the EU and Indigenous-crown relations in Canada. I am currently engaged in a monograph project on Indigenous-settler relations in the St Lawrence Valley which will be published by Edinburgh University Press.
