BIO
Biography

I reside in Southern Ontario and I am full-time associate professor at SUNY Empire State College in Buffalo, New York, where I teach History and Labour Studies.  My current research focuses on labour and management in Canada and the United States from the 1940s to the 2000s. I have a new book that is a popular history of work in Canada called Canada, A Working History (Dundurn, 2021).  My third book is called Leading Progress the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, 1920 – 2020 (Between the Lines, 2020).  My second book is titled Making Managers in Canada, 1945 – 1995: Companies, Community Colleges, and Universities (Routledge, 2018). My first book --  Our Union: UAW/CAW Local 27 from 1950 to 1990 — came out several years ago (Athabasca University Press, 2011). I have a forthcoming book under contract with Routledge titled Management and Labor Conflict: A North American History that will be part of the Routledge Focus series.
