Central to my work is a concern for not reducing complexity in the study of multinational religions in public universities, applying historical-critical methods, analyzing religious perspectives and their place in civil spaces, teaching and learning to nuance thinking about current events and trends, and making use of dialogue based in theoretical understandings that are grounded in the hermeneutic tradition of Hans-Gerog Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur. Combining my education and experience in Nursing and in Religious Studies, I am particularly interested in evidence-based healing and reconciliation in the Canadian context.Education____________________________________________________________________1996-2000Doctor of Philosophy (Religious Studies)University of Toronto, TorontoHermeneutics of Written Texts: Religious Discourse in Mexican Literature Supervisor: Dr. Mario J.

I have a related interest in the expression of religion/spirituality in fictional literature, music, film and art. This substantive work is situated within theories of religion and theories of fictional literature, with particular attention to how hearing and understanding is developed within religious traditions and within overlapping religious and secular contexts. This work connects closely with healing/integraton/reconcilitation between people, peoples, and natural environments.Publications__________________________________________________________________MonographsA Hermeneutical Approach to Religious Discourse in Mexican Narrative.
