Prof. Dr. Matthew Ryan Robinson

My formal training is in the fields of dogmatics and theological ethics (with the habilitation and venia legendi in Systematic Theology), cultural studies (my doctoral dissertation was on systematic-theological project but in a Religious Studies Department) and the history of philosophy (with a dual BA in Philosophy and Ancient Languages). This has led me to focus on the ways in which theologies (both academic and lived) can themselves be approached as social discourses and artifacts that form and reflect the particular contexts of their emergence in complex ways.
