Christopher Coome, PhD
Summer 2024 Graduate Fellow
MAR Candidate 2025, Yale Divinity School
Dr. Christopher Coome is a Canadian scholar specializing in British history, the long 19th century, and the mysterious borderlands between religious and para-religious thought. He has taught courses on Atlantic history, classical and Christian mysticism, and assisted with courses on everything from Roman history to contemporary Europe. Previous to his academic career he worked in business and politics, but a life of the mind proved ultimately irresistible. When not engaged in his studies, he is likely on a long walk debating history and metaphysics with his friends.
