Dr. John Walsh Biography
"Dr John Walsh is an Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Guelph. His academic research centres upon Greek and Roman historiography, particularly Diodorus Siculus and the relationship between historical writing, literature, empire, and cultural memory. He also writes extensively on Canadian defence policy, military education, the Reserve Force, civil-military relations, and national resilience, with work appearing through the NATO Association of Canada, Canadian Naval Review, and the CDA Institute. As the University’s Director of Defence and Industrial Strategy, he leads efforts to connect Guelph’s research strengths with Canadian priorities in defence, security, resilience, and industry. Dr Walsh founded the Serving Scholar Program, which supports students serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, and leads Project Reunion, an international commemorative initiative honouring the 109 members of the Guelph community who died during the First World War."
