Ivan Davidson Kalmar (born February 13, 1948) is a Canadian professor. Soon after he was born in Prague, his family moved to Komárno, and later to Bratislava. When he was seventeen, he left what was then Czechoslovakia, and eventually arrived in the United States. Kalmar's family settled down in Philadelphia, where he attended The University of Pennsylvania. There he received his undergraduate degree. Moving to Toronto during the Vietnam War, he took up study at The University of Toronto, where he received both a master's degree and a PhD in anthropology. Kalmar is currently a Professor of Anthropology at The University of Toronto.[1] He is also involved with first-year undergraduate education at Victoria College, including the Vic One Program, where he holds the title of Hon. Newton W. Rowell Professor. His primary research focus is on western Christian views of Jews and Muslims.[2]
