Waite, Gary
Gary Waite is currently the Chair of the Department of History at the University of New Brunswick. While focusing primarily on the history of popular culture and religion in early-modern Europe, his interests are eclectic, ranging from the study of the import of individual radical reformers such as David Joris, to the analysis of the vernacular Dutch drama societies called the Chambers of Rhetoric and their involvement in religious reform, to the study of the Reformation and the revival of witch-hunting in the sixteenth century. In particular, Dr. Waite seeks to find connections within and between sub-fields of history, such as Anabaptism and witchcraft, or drama and religion, that have often been neglected. While continuing to look for intersections in the Reformation and demonology/witchcraft fields, his current research focuses on popular attitudes toward Jews and Muslims in the vernacular literature of western Europe in the seventeenth century.
