Areas of Specialization

I am a committed student of historical change in economies and the history of economic ideas. My specific research interests concern the history of colonialism, land appropriation and urban development in Ontario (19th – mid 20th Century).

Biography

I have been teaching undergraduates at UW’s Department of Economics since the Fall 2011. My appreciation for the crystalline world of mathematics means I enjoy teaching math and statistics for economists, as well as micro-economic theory. I also value the rough ground of historical inquiry. It is a priority in my teaching to share these complementary sensibilities in economics.
