Kaitlyn Carter is a third year Ph.D. Candidate working under the co-supervision of Professors Jenna Healey and Jane Errington. She holds a Master of Arts from Western University (2021) and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from Brock University (2020). Her master’s cognate, which she affectionately deemed a “pandemic project,” focused on the relationship between national identity and the ideal form of Canadian masculinity in Cold War era hockey through examining the 1972 Summit Series. This research has since been featured in the edited collection Reaching the Summit published in 2022. However, her main interest area lies in the history of emotions and its relation to experiences of medical treatment in the nineteenth century.

Kaitlyn's research focuses on the moment of medical encounter between soldiers and doctors, where she is searching for evidence of emotional experience and expressions of pain by British troops in the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. By placing individual experiences into a transnational context, Kaitlyn intends to examine how emerging nineteenth-century ideas of nation, race, and embodied gender shaped the emotional realities of men fighting for and alongside the British Empire.

In Summer of 2025, Kaitlyn had the opportunity to work with the Oxford Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology located at The University of Oxford under the host supervision of .

Outside of academia, Kaitlyn is a dedicated public historian having worked at numerous historic sites including: Fort George National Historic Site and McFarland House in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON; the Brown Homestead in St. Catharines, ON; and most recently Fanshawe Pioneer Village in her hometown of London, ON.
