Her research interests focus on histories of modern technologies and the imaginaries that have shaped their design and meaning. She is especially interested in 20th century technological artifacts, their representation in popular culture, and the roles they played in shaping and advancing modern conceptions of time, space, and identity. She is currently working on two research projects: the first examines the interconnections of technology, design, and Canadian national identity in the post WWII years to 1975; the second is a history of the development and introduction of dial telephony in Central Canada, 1890 to 1930.
