Bio
I’m the Canada Research Chair of Humanities Computing, and an Associate Professor in the Department of History, at Brock University, as well as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. Before arriving to Brock in 2005, I was a Director and Project Director at the National Film Board of Canada (1999-2002), and an Assistant Professor at McGill University (2002-2005).
Recently, I organized the “Interacting with Immersive Worlds Conference”, and helped create nGen – an interactive media generator located in Niagara.
My research is focused on best practices for the design, development and use of computer simulations and serious games for history. This research has been funded by the Canada Research Chairs Program, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Heritage Canada, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, and Brock University. I lead the “Simulating History” research project, and direct the “Simulating History” research lab at Brock University.
I have written a book and articles on history computing and Canadian cultural history, and developed history Web sites, simulations and games.
I also lead a company that develops simulations and games for learning and entertainment.
