| Introduction | Currently, I'm a contract instructor in history at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie. In 2011, I completed my doctorate at York University in Toronto. I'm researching the relationship between counter-culture and Christianity in urban Canada, 1965-1975. This means I'm looking at hippies, New Left student radicals, Jesus People, and alarmed churchfolk. Before I returned to grad school, I taught high school History and English for four years in Thornhill. (I'm from northern Ontario originally.) I play piano and sing. I did my undergraduate degree in Music at University of Western Ontario, and also attended Teacher's College there. About 5 years later, I did my MA at Queen's University (Kingston). The full-time teaching gig came after that. I'm also left-handed and an ex-vegan. |
