Background

About Joseph E. Brito

I am a PhD Candidate (ABD) in the Dept. Religions and Cultures, at Concordia University. Prior to my PhD studies, I completed a BA and an MA at Université de Montréal. I have completed a Graduate Certificate in Post-Secondary Education. I have experience as a University Instructor (Religious studies), CEGEP teacher (humanities) Teaching Assistant (Religious Studies and Sociology), and tutorial leader (Success in Grad School, methodologies, and English Grammar). I am currently serving as vice-president of ACÉBAC. In the past, I served as Editor in Chief for the Journal of Religion and Culture (JRC), as President of the Annual Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference (AGIC), and as a mentor for the Concordia PhD Mentorship Program. My PhD dissertation examines language of slavery in St-Paul's letters through a minority lens, underlining communal-identity and "otherness" themes. In terms of research, I am interested in the fields of Latinx/Hispanic communities in Canada (history, culture, artistic expression) and their religious expressions. I am also interested in inclusive-pedagogy and how to develop syllabuses and curricular activities that are inclusive and diverse, allowing students to learn in their own ways and rhythm while also highlighting their strength and insight. I am currently seeking to expand my teaching experience at the CEGEP and University level in the fields of humanities and religious studies.
