I’m a Professor of History at The University of Western Ontario in Canada. From 2018 to 2026 I was a member of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada. I’m currently revising a monograph on Exploring Global 21st Century History with Generative AI. I am also the author of Spark from the Deep (JHU 2013) and The Archive of Place (UBC 2007).
