Personal Statement and Research
Christina Burr’s teaching and research focuses on working-class history, gender history, and cultural and social history in late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century Canada. Her recent book entitled Spreading the Light: Work and Labour Reform in Late-Nineteenth-Century Toronto focuses on how class, gender, and race intersected in the late nineteenth-century labour reform movement in Toronto. She is now working on a research project that examines the process of class formation in Enniskillen Township between 1850 and 1930, which seeks to break down the boundaries between rural/urban, public/private, masculine/feminine, and white, Anglo-European/non white Anglo-European in Canadian historical writing. She teaches undergraduate courses in North-American Women’s History, 1870-Present, Canadian Labour and Working-Class History, Canadian Social History, and North-American Historiography. Dr. Burr also offers a graduate course in Canadian Social History.
