Dr. Harling Stalker’s research has focussed primarily on exploring the motivations and meanings people attach to place and work.  This involves an investigation into the ways in which people narrate the intersections between materiality and culture.  In 2016, Dr. Harling Stalker’s course, “The Sociology of Anne of Green Gables” was named by MacLean’s magazine as a “cool” course at St. FX (http://www.macleans.ca/schools/st-francis-xavier-university/).
