Biography

Mark Stoller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queen's University. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, earning a BA Honours in History. Stoller then obtained a Master's degree in History from McMaster University and a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies (Geography/Political Science) from the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on historical political geographies in northern Canada, with a current emphasis on youth research in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, where he collaborates with Inuit youth to document and share local histories and stories. His dissertation, titled 'Border Divides: Settler Geographies Making Northwest Territories,' explored the historical division of the Northwest Territories and examined Dene political mobilization during the 1970s and 1980s. Stoller draws inspiration from settler colonial studies, northern studies, environmental historical geography, and political geography. He is also interested in supervising graduate students at both the Master's and Doctoral levels in various areas of political and historical development, especially in northern regions.
