Andrew Gow

Andrew Colin Gow is a Canadian historian of medieval and early modern Europe and a noted scholar of early modern witchcraft. He completed his Ph.D. with the Reformation scholar Heiko Oberman.

In 2021, a former student of Gow's initiated a lawsuit against him and the University of Alberta, claiming that Gow had sexually assaulted them in 2006, as well as other students, and that the University had willfully ignored his behavior. Gow and the University have denied the allegations. The suit was settled in 2023 pursuant to a Consent Dismissal Order. Provided by Wikipedia
