Suzanna is a Canadian health historian focusing on 1890- 1930. Her current research projects are the use of gendered labour during the 1918 influenza pandemic and First World War Canadian military nursing sisters serving in Greece and Egypt. She is especially interested in the diversity of the Great War’s Eastern theatre where climate and active fighting impacted the availability of supplies, medical treatment and living conditions to different degrees in Greece and in Egypt. She has a broad interest in the histories of health, nursing, material culture, and public history and has spent many years working in public history at a number of museums and historic sites in Alberta.
