What is your favourite thing about the program?
I enjoyed being in seminar with the best of the best. I loved having an office in the department where graduate students could congregate and catch up.
What will you miss the most?
I will miss the opportunity to talk about history and my work at a high academic level. I will miss the welcoming faculty. Most of all, I will miss the campus that was my home away from home for 9 wonderful years.
What is your favourite reading/book/text from the program?
There are so many! Probably anything by James E Young or Amy Tyson’s The Wages of History.
What’s next for you?
Continuing to do historical research consulting until the public service comes a knocking.
