BIO
Biography

I reside in Southern Ontario and I am a full professor at SUNY Empire State University in Buffalo, New York, where I teach History and Labour Studies.  My current research focuses on labour and management in Canada and the United States from the 1940s to the 2000s. My latest book is Work and Labor in American Popular Culture: Representation in Film, Music and Television in the 1970s and 1980s (Routledge, 2024).  My fifth book is Management and Labor Conflict: An Introduction to the US and Canadian History (Routledge, 2022).  My fourth book is a popular history of work is Canada, A Working History (Dundurn, 2021).  My third book is Leading Progress the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, 1920 – 2020 (Between the Lines, 2020).  My second book is Making Managers in Canada, 1945 – 1995: Companies, Community Colleges, and Universities (Routledge, 2018). My first book --  Our Union: UAW/CAW Local 27 from 1950 to 1990 — came out several years ago (Athabasca University Press, 2011). I also have a forthcoming book under contract with University of Toronto Press.
