About

My name is Candace Nast and I’m a graduate of the M.A. History program at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. In 2007, I completed an undergraduate degree in women’s studies with a minor in applied information technology.

My M.A. research explored the decline of homebirth on Pelee Island, Ontario, a small Island in Lake Erie and the place where my father and grandmother were born. I collected oral histories of women who became mothers there between 1930 and 1950 and wrote about the connection between childbirth, mothering, and women’s work in rural Canada in the mid-twentieth century.

I’m currently working on mapping some of my M.A. project (and a few other women’s history projects. I ♥ maps!) I was accepted to the Ph.D. History program at the University of Waterloo, but haven’t made up my mind about that yet.

I have been blogging since 2005. This blog brings together all my writing into one place: tech, history, activist, and feminist.
