Prior to the University of Calgary, she taught at the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba.

The appointments are intended for "outstanding individuals who by their presence will enhance the reputation of the University and who can provide leadership and experience for the strengthening of teaching and research in specific disciplines." Research and teaching in interdisciplinary fields are encouraged.”1 Dr. Carter’s research focuses on the history of Western Canada and the critical era that began in the late nineteenth century when Aboriginal people were dispossessed and a new population established. As a Killam Research Fellow her present project is a borderlands and comparative Canada-U.S. history of women of the northern Great Plains with particular focus on land distribution policies and the meanings, opportunities and constraints of the forty-ninth parallel. Dr. Carter recently completed The Importance of Being Monogamous: Forging the Marital Terrain of Western Canada, and has submitted this to press.

  • The West Unbound: Social and Cultural Studies Series Editors: Alvin Finkel and Sarah Carter
    The West and Bey nd The West Unbound: Social and Cultural Studies SerieS editorS: Alvin Finkel And SArAh CArter Writing on the western halves of Canada and the United States once focused on the alienation of the peoples of these regions from residents of the eastern regions. The mythology of a homogenized West fighting for a place in the sun blunted interest in the lives of ordinary people and the social struggles that pitted some groups in the West against others, usually the elite groups that claimed to speak for the whole region on the national stage. The West Unbound series challenges simplistic definitions of the West and its institutions. It focuses upon the ways in which various groups of Westerners—women, workers, Ab- original peoples, farmers, and people of various ethnic origins, among others— tried to shape the institutions and attitudes of the region. This series draws on a variety of disciplines and is intended for both university audiences and lay audiences with an interest in the American and Canadian Wests.
