IntroductionWelcome! I'm Sean Cox from Bar Harbor, ME. I am a recent Ph.D. graduate from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, where I defended my dissertation "The 'Drive-Through Province' Problem: New Brunswick’s Transit Space Tourism, 1929-1999." I also worked with Dr. Sasha Mullally on a research project, "Making Living Spaces," in the province of New Brunswick. I received my MA in History from University of Maine in 2020, with the thesis "Making Vacationland: The Modern Automobility and Tourism Borderlands of Maine and New Brunswick, 1875-1939."
I currently serve as the Marketing and Operations Coordinator for the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor and as an Advisory Board Member for the McGillicuddy Humanities Center at the University of Maine in Orono. My research interests include North American environmental history, particularly related to the National Parks, public lands, infrastructure, and eco-tourism mobility. My work experience and academic training focused on the environmental and transportation history of New England and the Canadian Maritimes from the late 19th century to pre-WWII. |
