Research Interest/Specialization

Professor Keith Fleming is currently working on several projects. The first is a "new" political history of Ontario spanning the 18th to the 21st centuries that he's writing for the University of Toronto Press. Unlike previous surveys of Ontario's history which overstate the province's regional divisions and diversity, a central objective of the book will be to describe how a distinctively Upper Canadian/Ontario identity evolved over time, and in particular since the mid-eighteenth century, by focusing on the political, social, cultural and economic events that contributed to the formation of provincial attitudes and perspectives reasonably deemed "Ontarian." The second project is a history of political protest and dissent throughout Canadian history from the nineteenth century to the present. The third project is an entry in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography of George Howard Ferguson (1870-1946), the former Ontario Conservative premier and Canadian high commissioner in London.
