University of Toronto St. George Campus - History
Ph.D.
I hope that my experience in research
analysis
communication and teaching has prepared me for positions in education
research
and analysis. As I am also bilingual
I feel confident that I have the ability to contribute to a number of organizations in related fields of communications
journalism
publications and government. My dissertation
entitled 'It's All About War: The Canadian Approach to International Relations
1935 to 1939'
dealt not only with Canadian history
but also questions of public opinion
the role of the media
publications
the role of the government and the French and English Canadian role domestically and internationally. I have also received a number of graduate awards
including the Margaret McCullough Award in Canadian history (2007). I am also working on a number of publications
including to my current activities in teaching and reseach
which has given me a background in the nature of research and the publication process.
