HGIS Canada

Laura Larsen PhD

Laura Larsen is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan. Her dissertation explores rail rationalization and agricultural policy under the Trudeau government. It focuses on the tensions between government, farmers, grain companies, and railways created by attempts to modernize the grain handling and transportation system as well as the substantial changes to the underlying structure of prairie agriculture caused by these changes. In the HGIS Lab, Laura works on historical map digitizing and other contract mapping projects. She will also be working for the Sustainable Farm Systems project this upcoming year.
