I am a historian of modern Europe. After a BA in history, political science and French and an MA in history, both at the University of Toronto, I completed a PhD in history at Yale University. I then spent two years as a postdoctoral research at the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University. Since 2000 I have been a faculty member of the Département des sciences historiques at the Université Laval in Québec, Canada.
