The advancement of knowledge is a collective enterprise that relies on the building of research communities. I am fortunate to collaborate with amazing co-authors and to contribute to interdisciplinary projects such as The Canadian Peoples/Les populations canadiennes, Trois siècles de migrations francophones en Amérique du Nord and the North Atlantic Population Project. The scholars involved in these networks are advancing knowledge and research infrastructure in important ways.
In recent years I have hosted workshops on topics such as economic and demographic change in Latin America, inequality and factor prices during globalization, the construction and use of longitudinal data and historical prison records. Since 2021 I have been the chief editor in a ten-person editorial team for the Asia-Pacific Economic History Review. I have served on the editorial boards of Enterprise and Society, the Australian Economic History Review, Continuity and Change and the governing boards of the Canadian Network for Economic History, the Social Science History Association, the International Economic History Association, the Historical Sample of the Netherlands, the Laboratory for the Economics of Africa’s Past and the Canadian Association of Latin American and Carribean Studies,
Within the University of Guelph I teach in the Department of History and in the Department of Economics and Finance. I contribute to the supervision of graduate and post-graduate students in these departments and in the School of Computer Science.
