Professor
St. John's University
Joseph L. Adolphe joined the faculty in the Department of Fine Arts in St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2000. Named a Senior Vincentian Research Fellow in 2006, he continues to explore the spiritual in art and the creation of a moral society. In addition to his teaching, Professor Adolphe exhibits his paintings regularly and his illustrations appear in numerous local and national journals and publications. He holds an M.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts, NY. He lives with his wife and five daughters in New Haven, CT.
"Being a Vincentian Fellow has provided me with a framework and a support system by which I may expose my students to, and involve them in the issues of social justice and poverty, both material and spiritual that we as a global community are called to confront."
Catholic universities will be particularly attentive to the poorest and to those who suffer economic, social, cultural or religious injustice. This responsibility begins within the academic community but it also finds application beyond it.

"Being selected as a Vincentian Fellow launched both a period of reawakening and personal examination. Surrounded by such solid and caring scholarpractitioners, it is hard not to be moved into action and advocacy when examples abound at our collective table of how to alleviate the human condition by doing what you do anyway
