Upon returning to Canada, he completed his undergraduate studies in history and English literature at Concordia University, before continuing with graduate studies at Carleton and completing a PhD in history at the University of Ottawa. He launched and continues to edit two award-winning online publications offering analysis and commentary on current affairs in Europe.Over the last fifteen years, Ottawa has become home. By day Christopher works in the non-governmental organization sector. By night he teaches and writes — and somewhere in between tries to travel as much as possible.
