  1. An #introduction: I am a historian of rural #NovaScotia in the #colonial era. I work at #Brock University in St Catharines Ontario Canada where I teach colonial #Canada, colonial Atlantic World, and #digital public history of Acadie/Mi'kma'ki/Nova Scotia. I encourage students to think historically using digital tools. My larger current work is a biography of the 19th-century NS miller #JamesBarryDiary. A miller, fiddler, printer, reader, and complainer of many ailments, writing on Barry finds me dabbling in histories of emotion, the body, religion, family, music, books, and print culture.
