RESEARCH INTERESTS: see Working Papers, listed below

  • The Economic History of Medieval and Early-Modern Europe: The Low Countries and England, 1200 - 1600
  • Industrial and Labour History: with a focus on Textiles
  • Monetary and Financial History: Money and Prices (including Wages)

My more general interests in economic history, however, extend into modern times -- indeed to the present day; and one of my undergraduate lecture courses goes into the 20th century (to World War I). As a medieval economic historian, I am cross-appointed to The Centre for Medieval Studies, at the University of Toronto, and serve on its Steering Committee. See also the web links to our related Institute: The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (PIMS: at the U of T)

I am also a member of the following academic organizations, whose websites provide useful resource materials and web-links that are relevant to European economic history:

ECONOMICS COURSES and Related Materials

 

Major Themes in my European Economic History courses.

All of the courses listed below, undergraduate and graduate, are "year courses," indicated by the suffix Y: commencing in early September and finishing in mid-April. None was given in the academic year 2000 - 2001, because I was on sabbatical leave. Of the following courses, Eco 201Y1 and Eco 303Y1 will be offered in the following two years, 2001-02 and 2002-03; Eco 2210Y will be offered only in 2002-03; and Eco 453Y1 will not ever be offered again. Because the University of Toronto imposes mandatory retirement at age 65, my regular employment with the University will therefore cease on 30 June 2003. In all likelihood none of these courses will ever again be offered, after that date; and certainly not the graduate course.

 

Economic History Lectures: All of my undergraduate lectures will be posted, but in pdf format only; and these postings will be found at the end of the following sections for ECO 201Y1 and 303Y1, respectively. They will be posted not as a set, but as individual lectures, usually on a weekly basis, after each has been delivered in class (and, if necessary, after further revisions, in the light of class discussion).
