- Hi, I’m Gillian Macdonald and I am the Interim Director of LEADR (Lab for the Education and Advancement in Digital Research) and Assistant Professor of History at Michigan State University.
- My pronouns are she/her/hers.
- I am an early modern Europeanist specialising in the late-seventeenth century British Isles and Atlantic World. My current research focuses on the North Channel borderlands as both a region and an environmental space in terms of political oversight and determinism. Here I analyse the effect both people and evironment had on the region and wider policies applied to ports, trade, and movement between 1688 and 1697.
- I’m also interested in the uses of digital methods to aid learning outcomes in history courses. At LEADR, we specialize in adding digital projects or counterparts to assignments giving students a chance to hone skills in coding, data visualization, and 3D printing among others.
- I’m looking to collaborate on a bigger spatial and mapping project for my research in early modern borderlands studies and I'm working on a larger networking project for my research!

- ⚡ Fun fact: I'm from Scotland where haggis runs up the hills!
