Cooper White

I graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelors of Arts double majoring in History and Political Science. My specialty, coupled with my background in theatre, situates me as an influential advocate for helping others view history and politics through both an entertaining and educational lens. I have a particular interest in the historical formation of the Canadian National Identity, Colonialism and International Relations, Military History, and Classical and Hellenistic Greece.
