I am interested in German and Austrian literature and thought from the late 18th to the early 20th century. My focus is on the fantastic and uncanny, myth and fairy tales. My current research deals with the aesthetics of terror in the romantic period.
I study glacial deposits to reconstruct past climate change and to better understand how these deposits affect the movement of groundwater and contaminants today.
My research attempts to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of pork production in Ontario and Canada, to support a vibrant and diverse industry that employees many people, which ultimately provides high-quality, safe, and affordable pork for us to eat.
It is important to consider how our everyday decisions as residents of Canada affect global (or distant) issues, people and places in positive and negative ways.
