Stacey Zembrzycki was born and raised in Sudbury, Ontario, and currently resides in Montreal, Quebec, where she teaches in the Department of History and Classics at Dawson College. The granddaughter of two miners who came from Warsaw, Poland, and Mossey River, Manitoba, to work in Sudbury’s nickel mines in the postwar period, she spent the bulk of her childhood in their homes, listening to their stories but mostly those told by her grandmothers.

This experience is evident in her award-winning work as an oral and public historian of ethnic, immigrant, and refugee experience. She is the author of According to Baba: A Collaborative Oral History of Sudbury’s Ukrainian Community (UBC Press, 2014) and is co-editor of Oral History Off the Record: Toward an Ethnography of Practice (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) as well as Beyond Women’s Words: Feminisms and the Practices of Oral History in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge, 2018). Most recently, she directed the SSHRC-funded multi-media project Refugee Boulevard: Making Montreal Home After the Holocaust.
