Michael was born in Warsaw, Poland and spent his youth there. He and his parents immigrated to Canada when he was nine. After a five year stay in Niagara Falls, they moved to Guatemala for two years where he experienced firsthand Hispanic and Mayan cultures which later sparked his interest in Spanish literature when he was in university.
His research interests include collaborative peer teaching, technology assisted language learning, cultural studies, peninsular golden age theatre, and contemporary Hispanic short story, theatre and film. He is also interested in the application of theoretical scientific models to aesthetics.
