My broad research interests surround human health, death and disease in the past. My work has focused primarily on the early 20th century in Canada, and included a mix of historical demography and the anthropology of infectious disease. My doctoral research is centered around the 1918-19 influenza pandemic in Ontario. Some areas of focus include the links between the mass movement of people during the Great War and the spread of flu, and the fascinating story of the Polish soldiers who perished in Niagara-on-the-Lake during this pandemic.
