About
Martin has a MA from l’École d’Études Politiques de l’Université d’Ottawa where he wrote a thesis entitled 'L'Ébranlement de l'écrit: mouvement de l'existence, littérature, et geste politique dans la philosophie de Jan Patočka'. He also has a MA in Humanities from York University where he developed a critical appreciation of Frances A. Yates’s approach to the study of Hermeticism from the perspective of cultural history. Still at York for the PhD, his research has two main orientations. The first is the cultural history of magic and witchcraft in colonial North America with a particular focus on practices, texts, and beliefs. The second is the study of expression, imagination, and epistemology in 20th century French history and philosophy.
