He received a Bachelor of Arts in English and History and a master\u2019s degree in Globalization Studies, both from McMaster University, as well as a Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto. McCurdy worked as a researcher, historian and teacher. He had been a member of the Ontario College of Teachers since 2008.<br><br>McCurdy joined the York community in 2016 as a PhD student in Social and Political Thought. His research interests included Toronto History, Urban Studies, Political Theory, and the History and Theory of the Commons, which were all driving forces in shaping his dissertation.<br><br>\u201cJohn McCurdy knew so much about Canadian history, theories of the city, urban theory, Marxist theory and methodology, neo-commoning, the politics of intellectual property and theories of technology. He had the acute research skills of an archivist and historian blended with the political awareness of a political scientist. I will cherish our fascinating conversations drawing on all his knowledge fields along with those of music, life and death,\u201d says Shannon Bell, Professor in York University\u2019s Political Science Department who served as McCurdy\u2019s supervisor. \u201cIn our second to last conversation, we talked about Leonard Cohen\u2019s \u201cIf it be Your Will,\u201d Joni Mitchell\u2019s \u201cDown to You\u201d and the Stoic philosopher Epictetus\u2019 thoughts on control, choice and attitude.\u201d<br><br>McCurdy was a life-long writer. &nbsp;His works included <em>Becoming Bruce: The Early Life and Work of Bruce Cockburn<\/em> (2010) as well as many articles and poems. He was also a nature enthusiast and a deeply spiritual person with a passionate commitment to learning.<br><br>Judith Hawley, graduate program assistant for Social and Political Thought, remembers McCurdy as a person who \u201cthrived on reading, research and writing.\u201d<br><br>\u201cThe one sadness he spoke of was not completing his PhD, it was a project he was deeply committed to completing,\u201d recalls Hawley. \u201cHe valued the environment, the changes of the seasons, numerous friendships and new experiences. When COVID shut things down, one of the things he enjoyed most was long walks or bike rides through the ravine near campus.\u201d<br><br>John will be deeply missed by his sister, Katherine McCurdy-Lapierre, his stepmother, Kathie Hibbins, as well as many friends and colleagues at York University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full img-thumbnail rounded-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/john-mccurdy.jpg\" alt=\"black and white photo of John McCurdy\" class=\"wp-image-45738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/john-mccurdy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/john-mccurdy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/john-mccurdy-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><sup>John McCurdy<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/2022-01-06_JohnMcCurdy-1024x538.png\" alt=\"composite image of scenes of nature commemoratiing John McCurdy\" class=\"wp-image-45682\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/2022-01-06_JohnMcCurdy-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/2022-01-06_JohnMcCurdy-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/2022-01-06_JohnMcCurdy-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2022\/01\/2022-01-06_JohnMcCurdy-2048x1075.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><sup><code>We've put together a collection of photos taken by John while on walks around our Keele Campus, York University<\/code><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bell dedicates the following lines by Leonard Cohen to the memory of McCurdy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If it be your will, that I speak no more<br>And my voice be still, as it was before<br>I will speak no more, I shall abide until<br>I am spoken for, if it be your will<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donations honouring John McCrudy can be made to the Woodland Cultural Centre at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/woodlandculturalcentre.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">woodlandculturalcentre.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The York community comes together to remember John McCurdy, PhD candidate in Social and Political Thought, who passed away December 17, 2021.
