Publications

---

I have been published in the (AMCTO's) Municipal Monitor, Lawyer's Daily (now Law360), Ottawa Law Review Blog, Toronto Star,  and co-authored two edited book chapters.  I focus on on municipal and planning law issues. I also write on Canadian politics and history.

At each stage of my academic career, I have presented at graduate and student conferences in history, political science, and law. I also contributed to Laurier's The Cord and Inter Alia: uOttawa Faculty of Common Law Magazine.
