Faculty

A strength of the MCT program is that, in addition to our theologians, we have a diverse group of faculty members from St. Jerome’s University's History, Religious Studies, English, and Sociology departments teaching and supervising students in our graduate courses. The theology program allows students to engage with the role of theology in response to many different topics, including:

 

  •     the ecological crisis,
  •     Eastern Christian theology,
  •     ecumenical thought,
  •     Catholic social ethics,
  •     historical understandings of Catholic life and thought, and
  •     the sociological and political impact of theological insights.
     

Students will normally also engage with a wide range of visiting scholars whose courses will expand student’s perspectives and perceptions.

 

See below for information about our faculty, including their theological interests.
