Biography
James Horncastle was born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada. After attending St. Thomas University, he was inspired by its emphasis on liberal arts education, which he applied to his Masters studies at the University of New Brunswick, where he examined the social, political and military dimensions of Yugoslavia鈥檚 collapse in the 1990s. Upon completion of his Masters at the University of New Brunswick, he set out for doctoral studies at 尤物视频, where he examined the Macedonian Question in the Greek Civil War. After serving as a limited-term appointment at 尤物视频 for three years, he joined the Hellenic Studies Program as the inaugural holder of the Edward and Emily McWhinney Professorship in International Relations.
