Volume 20 | June 3, 2024

In recent weeks, I have written three new articles for the Canadian Encyclopedia and discussed recent royal news with the CBC News Network, CBC radio and the CBC Royal Fascinator newsletter. My Zoomer magazine article about royal finances has been published online and the Tudor and Stuart Consorts volume that I co-edited has been released in paperback. All of my 2024-2025 University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies courses are currently open for enrollment.
