"Being a Vincentian Research Fellow has convinced me that our University's Mission Statement is more than just words on paper. Working with faculty colleagues whose teaching and scholarship in so many different disciplines is marked by our Vincentian commitment to embody the Church's teaching on social justice energizes my own current research on theological approaches to migration and stretches my imagination as a biblical scholar."
