About

Specializations: Theological Anthropology, Trinitarian Theology, Religion and Popular Culture, Lonergan Studies
 
Brian Bajzek is Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Molloy University. He holds a Ph.D. in Theological Studies from University of Toronto and Regis College (2018). His research investigates the interplay of otherness and similarity in theological anthropology, highlighting the importance of productive engagement between religion and society. His writing and teaching also explore the resources popular culture (especially horror movies) can provide for both critiquing and strengthening religious accounts of social justice. 
 
Dr. Bajzek has published in The Heythrop Journal, International Philosophical Quarterly, Theological Studies, and several edited volumes. He is currently revising his dissertation for publication in book form. That book will resource the writings of René Girard, Emmanuel Levinas, and Bernard Lonergan to analyze intersubjectivity’s role in the drama of human progress, decline, and redemption, offering a trinitarian framework for overcoming marginalization and violence. He has previously taught at University of Toronto (University of St. Michael’s College), Christ the King Seminary (East Aurora, NY), and Marquette University. He is also the director of the Philosophy component of the International Institute for Method in Theology.
