I haven’t had a chance to post regularly of late because I have been rather busy with job-related things and finishing up a few (overdue) encyclopedia articles, but that should change soon, hopefully.

I am happy to say that I have been offered and have accepted a position at York University in Toronto, which will begin in the 2006-2007 school year. The position there will entail undergraduate teaching in the Religious Studies program of the Humanities department (especially in early Christianity, Judaism, and Greco-Roman religions), as well as graduate teaching in both the Humanities and in Ancient Greek and Roman History (which has a joint PhD program with the University of Toronto). So I am looking forward to all of that! It will also be nice to be closer to family, of course.

At the same time, I am sad to leave Concordia University, where my experiences with both students and colleagues have been very positive and rewarding. I will miss Montreal and Concordia, that is for sure, but the new position will be exciting as well.
