My research and teaching examine the history of immigration, race, and ethnicity in Canada and the United States. I am especially interested in the ideas and practices that have contributed to group cohesion (or the lack thereof) in twentieth century cities. My previous research explored the responses of ethnic groups to urban change and the approaches of municipal governments to ethnic and racial diversity. I am presently beginning a project that will examine race and ethnicity in Canada's major urban settings in the period after the Second World War.
