Professor, Department of English, McGill University

I have previously served as Associate Dean of Arts, Associate Provost of the University and Associate Dean of McGill University Library with oversight of ROAAr, a group of rare and special collections units.

My research and teaching focuses on the evolution of literary and culinary tastes in Canada. My most recent project involves scrutiny of a forgotten food-related practice involving riddles, which has extended my focus to Britain and America of the nineteenth century. I am a full professor in the Department of English.
