Katherine Crooks is a historian affiliated with Mount Saint Vincent University's Department of History. She holds a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship focusing on regional connections between Atlantic Canada and the eastern Arctic post-1945, analyzing photographs, interviews, and Inuit art collected by two Halifax-based journalists. Her research intersects gender/women's history, settler-Indigenous relations in Arctic/Sub-Arctic Canada, and labor/social histories of sex work in North America.
Education: BA (Saint Mary's University), MA & PhD (Dalhousie University). Recent publications explore topics like Mina Hubbard's exploration narratives, Halifax's 19th-century sex work regulation, and Irish charitable organizations in Victorian Halifax. Her current work examines visual and oral archives to bridge Atlantic Canada's historical ties with Inuit communities.
Research interests emphasize decolonial methodologies, environmental history, and the gendered dimensions of exploration. She contributes to interdisciplinary projects linking Arctic studies with Atlantic Canadian history.
