The title of his Ph.D. dissertation was "Collectivization of agriculture in Western Ukraine 1944-1951."〔http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?did=3&uin=uk.bl.ethos.385736〕 He began his tenure at University of Alberta in 1991. He has received several awards for excellence in research and teaching.〔http://euromaidan-researchforum.ca/experts/university-of-alberta/david-r-marples/〕 Marples is President of The North American Association for Belarusian Studies〔http://www.belarusianstudies.org/〕 and Director of the Stasiuk Program on Contemporary Ukraine at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta.〔http://www.ualberta.ca/CIUS/stasiuk/.index.htm〕 He is regarded as one of the leading Western authorities on the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe (social and political aspects)〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JevTU_kmfwg〕 and Lukashenko's regime in Belarus. As a historian Marples wrote extensively on Eastern European history of the 20th Century including such major historical events as the Russian Revolution 1917-1920, Ukrainian Famine 1932-1933, Stalinism, and fall of the Soviet Union. Marples also contributed to ongoing debates surrounding Ukrainian nationalism and nationalistic myth-making. In Feb 7, 2010 issue of ''The Edmonton Journal'' he authored an opinion piece “Hero of Ukraine linked to Jewish killings; Honorary title sure to provoke divisions among Ukrainians today.” (the text is no longer available on the journal's web-site) The article concerned with the act of bestowing Hero of Ukraine onto Stepan Bandera by then president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko. Marples argued that "Yushchenko surely erred when he conferred on Bandera the title -- paradoxically it sounds typically Soviet -- Hero of Ukraine. Bandera was a Ukrainian patriot, but his elevation only provokes divisions in a society that has very disparate views of the recent past." The piece sparked a new wave of debate surrounding Bandera's figure and his role in Ukrainian history. Eventually, the most important texts of the debate were republished in Ukraine in the collection "Strasti za Banderoiu" (Passions of Bandera, 2010).〔http://www.grani-t.com.ua/books/2223〕 Marples writes frequently on current political matters of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine for ''Edmonton Journal'', ''Kyiv Post'',〔http://www.kyivpost.com/content/author/david-marples/〕 ''Moscow Times'',〔http://www.themoscowtimes.com/sitemap/authors/david-marples/170387.html〕 ''Eurasia Daily Monitor'',〔http://www.jamestown.org/articles-by-author/?no_cache=1&tx_cablanttnewsstaffrelation_pi1()=204〕 ''Open Democracy''〔https://www.opendemocracy.net/author/david-marples〕 and others.
