I'm a late-blooming scholar, born-again New Englander, and accidental grocer. Originally from Canada, I've lived in Massachusetts for many decades and am currently Distinguished Senior Lecturer in Anthropology and Environmental Studies at Tufts University in Boston. My career trajectory has included arts administration and romance-novel writing. In 2004 I completed an interdisciplinary PhD at Tufts that combined cultural anthropology, history, and museum studies. My book “The Lowell Experiment: Public History in a Postindustrial City” won the National Council on Public History Book Award in 2007. Since 2010, most of my work and teaching has focused on food studies. With Michelle Moon, I co-authored “Public History and the Food Movement: Adding the Missing Ingredient,” and I've consulted with numerous museums and historic sites about their interpretation of food and farm history. More recently, I got involved in efforts to save a small food co-op in near my home in north-central Massachusetts, a story chronicled in “Food Margins: Lessons from an Unlikely Grocer.”
