Research Interests
A historian specializing in twentieth-century Canada, Will Langford is interested in political activism, social movements, environmental change, and transnational connections. His first book is a history of development programs that approached the problem of ending poverty through empowering poor people and trying to create a more meaningful democracy. He is currently working on a history of right-wing political movements in late twentieth-century Canada.
