Alan MacEachern teaches history at the University of Western Ontario and is the director of NiCHE: Network in Canadian History & Environment / Nouvelle initiative canadienne en histoire de l'environnement. Since receiving his PhD from Queen’s University in 1997, he has written and edited extensively on his nation’s environmental history, including Natural Selections: National Parks in Atlantic Canada, 1935-1970 (2001) and, with William J. Turkel, the textbook Method and Meaning in Canadian Environmental History (2009). His current research, which was also explored in a summer 2011 course at the LMU Amerika-Institut, is on the role of Canada’s size on the development of its national character.
