Marc Menard is a professor in the School of English and Liberal Studies at Toronto's Seneca College where he develops and teaches political science courses. Every year, he introduces Canadian and International students to the world of politics with the aim of engaging their interest in the
world around them and developing their writing, researching and critical thinking skills. Prior to teaching, Ménard worked in both the civil service and in the private sector, better enabling him to bring a practical political element to the classroom. Political Argument is his second book.
