My research interests span three main streams: ethics, security and the environment in Canadian foreign policy; critical ecopolitical theory and history; and the pedagogy of critical thinking. My field of specialization in political science is international relations and I also have a background in peace and conflict studies.

My background includes graduate work in Political Science at York University’s Centre for International and Security Studies, a one-year travel-study tour around the world focused on issues of peace and conflict resolution, and almost 30 years of teaching subjects from International Development to Canadian government. I have researched and published on topics like ecological modernization, global environmental governance issues, protected areas governance in North America, environmental discourses, and environment and trade in Canadian foreign policy. I am also energized by educational technologies and the latest news and information about teaching and learning in higher education.
