Mary Chaktsiris

Mary Chaktsiris is a Ph.D. candidate in History at Queen’s University, specializing in the study of the First World War and masculinity through a case-study of the city of Toronto.  She first became interested in History Education while completing her M.A. at the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education at the University of Toronto (OISE/UT). This interest has only grown through her interaction with undergraduate history students in seminars, tutorials and lecture halls. She’ll be sharing some of her experiences interacting with students and colleagues alike within her blog posts. She is particularly interested in interacting with other History educators to develop strategies and resources for teaching at post-secondary levels, and particularly for Teaching Assistants (TA’s) in History departments.
