- About Me
I am the Canada Research Chair in Atlantic Canada Communities. Prior to coming to Saint Mary’s in Canada I lived and worked in Scotland. I’ve held research fellowships at the University of Guelph and Yale University, and I sit on the editorial board of the Scottish Historical Review and the Innes Review. I am a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, was co-chair of the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Young Academy of Scotland (2014-16), and am a member of both the Global Young Academy and the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. My research specialism is religion (Catholicism), migration, and minority identities in the British Atlantic. I also look at sustainable development and rural change and have a special interest in the relationship between the Scotland and the Caribbean.
I am an ally of scholars at risk (researchers forced to flee due to war and/or conflict) and an advocate of research-led public engagement.
