He was professor of history at York University for 25 years until 1996. Through his championing of so-called "limited identities", Cook contributed to the rise of the New Social History, which uses "class, gender and ethnicity" as its three main categories of analysis. Cook's conception of "limited identities" was famously formulated in an article in the ''International Journal'' in 1967, Canada's centenary year, reviewing the state of contemporary scholarship on Canadian nationalism: During his teaching career, Cook supervised the work of many prominent social historians such as Franca Iacovetta. In 1997, the Ramsay Cook Research Scholarship was established at York University to honour his contribution to the field of history. He publicly supported Pierre Elliott Trudeau in his attempt to gain the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada in 1968. He is married to Eleanor Cook, an English professor at the University of Toronto ==Honours== Cook received the Governor General's Award for non-fiction in 1985, is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1986.
