Robin Vose

Robin Vose was born in Vancouver and subsequently lived in Montreal, Rochester (NY), Saskatoon, Ottawa, Toronto, Cranbrook, Nanegalito (Ecuador), Alonim (Israel), South Bend (IN), Springfield (OH) and now Fredericton. He majored in History and Middle East Studies at McGill University before switching to Medieval Studies at the Universities of Toronto and Notre Dame. His PhD research focused on the role played by members of the Dominican Order of Friars Preacher in defining and policing barriers between Jews, Muslims and Christians in medieval Spain and North Africa, and he continues to examine premodern modalities of religio-cultural conflict—such as inquisition, crusade, and colonialism—around the globe.
