Biography

I grew up in Alberta, where I completed a BSc in Archaeology at the University of Calgary and an MA in Anthropology at the University of Alberta. I migrated south for a PhD in Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, where my interest in Africa was nurtured and where I studied the Swahili language. In 2006 I began a SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Archaeology Department of SFU, and began teaching African History on a sessional basis at 51猎奇入口and UBC.
