Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

I received my PhD in History from the University of Toronto in 2001, and I was a post-doctoral fellow at Brandeis University in 2002. I have been in Laurier’s History department since 2003.
I am a historian of Poland who focuses on the period between the first and the second World Wars. My research interests include the history of Polish Jews and the history of the Polish animal welfare movement.
I am willing to supervise graduate students in Polish history and modern East European history more generally.
