Kyle Falcon researches how disabled veterans coped with war-related debilities and the impact these had on their domestic lives.

Maia Woolner works to trace the circulation and consumption of medico-electric devices and their affiliated healthcare products and advertisements.

My AMS postdoctoral research project examines an historical trajectory shaping clinical research and its regulation in Canada.

To understand the production and use of medical knowledge in the early modern era, we must consider manuscripts and printed texts…

Matthew called his AMS project, “Cold Soldiers: Medical Scientist Alan C. Burton and Military Experimentation in Cold War Canada”. It examined Burton’s postwar research contributions to military science in Canada. His work for the Defence Research Board is important for medical historians because it shows the entangled histories of military funding and medical science in…

As an AMS Postdoctoral Fellow, Whitney continued the research for her second book manuscript, tentatively titled “A New Way to Birth? Natural Childbirth in Canada and the World, 1930-2000”. She also began an oral history project to explores attitudes towards natural childbirth in twentieth century Canada.
