Faculty Adviser News:

We are proud to introduce our three new Faculty Advisers and returning Faculty Adviser. Read below to learn more about them.

Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley – Kevin Burke, SJ
Father Burke assumed the role of academic dean at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley in 2006.  A fundamental and systematic theologian, Father Burke teaches courses in Christology, Liberation Theology, Spirituality, Ecclesiology, Theological Method, and Theological Synthesis. In recent years, he has lectured and published information on a number of themes.  The topics include: the philosophical and theological vision of Ignacio Ellacuría, the witness of Archbishop Oscar Romero, the theological significance of martyrdom, the theological dimensions of peacemaking, the faith that does justice, cultural diversity in the American Catholic experience, and Ignatian spirituality.

Marquette University – Jeff LaBelle, SJ
Father LaBelle holds the following degrees: Ed.D., University of San Francisco,  Th.M., Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, M.Div., Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, and B.A., University of the Pacific, Stockton, CA.  His research interests include first and second language acquisition, immigrant issues in education, multicultural and bilingual education, Hispanic languages and cultures, Catholic social teaching, and Jesuit education and Ignatian spirituality.

Xavier University – Michelle Brady, PhD
Michelle Brady received her B.A. (1991) from Haverford College, and her M.A. (1995) and Ph.D. (1999) from Emory University. Her research and teaching reflect a continued interest in the relation between ancients and moderns, with an emphasis on moral and political philosophy. The theme of her recent article, "Autonomy and Community in Aristotle" published in In Faith, Reason, and Political Life Today, (Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield, Lexington Press, 2001), is the role of community in moral education. In addition to teaching departmental courses in ethics, political philosophy and early modern philosophy, Dr. Brady introduced new courses on philosophy, literature and the nature of human desire.
