Biography
Marc B. Cels, Ph.D. (Toronto) is an Assistant Professor in History and Humanities and teaches courses on ancient, medieval and early modern Europe.
Research Interest
My research interests influence my teaching in the importance that I accord to religion and culture in my courses. Besides showing students how past ideas and beliefs continue to shape today's attitudes, I also encourage them to reflect on how many of their basic assumptions and sentiments are determined by their culture. Most of my courses also include at least a taste of ancient or medieval sources and the challenges of deciphering old texts.
