Bio
Ramón Luzárraga is an associate professor of theology, member of the founding faculty, and chair of theology at Benedictine University in Mesa, Arizona.
He holds a B.A. from Fordham University, where he double-majored in political science and theology, an M.A.R. from Yale Divinity School, and a Ph.D. with a focus on systematic theology and ethics from Marquette University. His research interests deal with general questions on Catholic faith, doctrine, and questions surrounding the inculturation of Catholic religious practice in culture, political theology in all its varieties and the inevitable ethical questions which arise from that, as well as Hispanic and Caribbean theology. He has presented and published in refereed journals across the country and internationally, most recently in the journal Politics and Religion, published in Belgrade, Serbia.
Recently he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Society of Christian Ethics. He was awarded Benedictine University’s Kevin Doyle Award for Mission and Identity. He was invited to participate in the international conference Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church, which convened in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
