About Me

I live in the fantastic global city of Toronto, Canada. My roots are small town, and I grew up in the eastern Ontario community of Napanee. From there I moved down the road to Kingston, where I completed my B.A. in Political Studies at Queen's University. Being in Kingston throughout most of my 20`s, this time period may have involved one or two (or many) Tragically Hip concerts.

My graduate school experience began at Carleton University and is in Canadian Studies, with a specialization in Women's Studies. I then moved from the nation's capital across the country to the University of Calgary where in between skiing the Rockies, I finished my PhD in Political Science in 2005. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at Ryerson University located in downtown Toronto.
