Recent Faculty Research and Creative Work

The English Faculty at Grenfell is made up of a group of active and prolific researchers and writers of all kinds. Please see below for some selected recent publications and research activities, and check back for updates in the future!

Tom Halford

Dr. Halford has recently published two distinct volumes. The first is a scholarly monograph published with the University of Toronto Press in 2025 entitled Nightmares of the National Imaginary: Surveillance and Sousveillance in Canadian Literature, a critical analysis of the practice of looking from above as well as looking from below in literature. The second, Over the Lights and Over the Houses (Porcupine’s Quill, 2026), is a festive and subversive Christmas novel that has earned early praise for its “humour and darkness.”
