His educational trajectory includes: BA (English, Honors) from the University of Victoria MA (English) from the University of Toronto PhD (English) from Dalhousie University (thesis on Christopher Marlowe) McAdam's research centers on early modern masculinity, examining how Reformation theology shaped gender identity and how magic functioned as a cultural discourse.

Recurring themes include religious conflict in domestic tragedies, satirical treatments of alchemy, and the psychological dimensions of gender performance. Key honors include: Roma Gill Award (Second-place, 1999-2000) for The Irony of Identity University of Lethbridge Distinguished Teaching Award (2009) McAdam has authored two monographs: The Irony of Identity: Self and Imagination in the Drama of Christopher Marlowe (1999) and Magic and Masculinity in Early Modern English Drama (2009).
