Juan Carlos is from Mexico. He has recently begun the Sociology doctoral program at UT. He has studied Social Sciences, Theology, and Philosophy. He is interested in researching religious phenomena, especially aspects related to popular religion in Latin America and its relationship with the Western missionary influence. For Juan Carlos, the subject of missionaries has been a topic that has interested for a long time, but has grown in importance in the time he has been collaborating with PREC. After getting his Ph.D, he would like to continue researching and teaching in the university environment.
The movie that best represents Juan Carlos' personality is The Name of the Rose-though he prefers the book.
He admits that sometimes he is a workaholic, so he often quotes to himself a Latin expression he learned years ago: totus opus nostrum in operatione consistit (our job consists in doing something-useful). When he is not researching missionaries or doing another academic task, Juan Carlos likes to watch movies. Loaded in his Ipod would be a lot of Latin American music (with social meaning). |
