Dr Paul Lawrie is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Winnipeg. His work has been published in Canadian Review of American Studies, Oxford Disability Handbook, Disability Histories and Truth in the Public Sphere. His first book, Forging a Laboring Race: The AfricanAmerican Worker in the Progressive Imagination (NYU Press, 2016), examines evolutionary science and industrial management in early 20th century America. His current project The Color of Hours: Temporal Cultures of Race in Post Industrial America examines the ways in which time mediated racial difference in the American city from the time-work management of the factory floor to the vagrancy statues of the streets.
