After completing a Masters in the History of Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto, Kori Street received her PhD in history from the University of Victoria in 2001. Her focus was military and social history, an interest fueled by her four years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces. Her current research interests include the scholarship of teaching and learning, the Canadian homefront in the First World War, and the Holocaust. She recently completed a major project with a colleague in the Department of Humanities on the "Black Donnelleys" with the Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History group. The website engages students in the study of history using inquiry-based models and won the MERLOT Award for innovation in 2008. She is currently working on a project digitizing Holocaust survivor testimony. Dr. Street spent the summer touring battlefields and Holocaust sites in Europe as well as presenting several scholarly papers. In her spare time, she is learning to long board - slowly.
