About Me

I am Professor of History, University of Guelph. I specialize in the history of gender and sexuality in the Middle Ages, with a focus on male sexuality and masculinity.

I have published a variety of articles in national newspapers (Globe and Mail, National Post) that explore the medieval foundations of contemporary beliefs and practices about sex, sexuality and gender.

I have considerable experience with pedagogical innovation. As Director of the First-Year Seminar program I developed interdisciplinary courses for first-year students, many of which used enquiry-based learning. For these efforts I was awarded a 3M National Teaching Award.
