Here are some pictures I took this morning of Sault Ste. Marie's Cenotaph. The cenotaph in front of the courthouse was unveiled in 1924. It was designed by Alfred Howell, a prominent sculptor in the decade following the Great War, who designed war memorials for Guelph and Pembroke, as well as Saint John, New Brunswick. The monument also includes a four-line poem by Rudyard Kipling, commissioned specially for this memorial. For more information, additional information can be found here.
Currently, I'm a contract instructor in history at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie. In 2011, I completed my doctorate at York University in Toronto. I'm researching the relationship between counter-culture and Christianity in urban Canada, 1965-1975. This means I'm looking at hippies, New Left student radicals, Jesus People, and alarmed churchfolk.
Before I returned to grad school, I taught high school History and English for four years in Thornhill. (I'm from northern Ontario originally.)
I play piano and sing. I did my undergraduate degree in Music at University of Western Ontario, and also attended Teacher's College there. About 5 years later, I did my MA at Queen's University (Kingston). The full-time teaching gig came after that.
I'm also left-handed and an ex-vegan.
