Paul Bramadat: Paul is an associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Winnipeg, in Manitoba. He received his B.A. from the University of Winnipeg in 1990, his M.A. from McGill University in 1993, and his Ph.D. from McMaster University in 1998. His first book was The Church on the World's Turf: An Evangelical Christian Group at a Secular University, published in 2000 by Oxford University Press (New York). In this book he explores the ways a group of self-described fundamentalists responds to a secular academic and social ethos they perceive to be hostile to their beliefs, values, and lifeways. He has published numerous articles on many issues relating to religious rights and religious diversity in Canada. He teaches in the broad area of contemporary religion and culture in Canada, offering courses on religion and public policy, religion and ethnicity, fundamentalism, religion in popular culture, religion and identity, the problem of evil, ritual studies, and the modern secular literary pursuit of traditional religious themes.
Scot Wortley: Scot is an associate professor in the Centre of Criminology at the University of Toronto. He is currently involved in a number of different research projects including: 1) a SSHRCC-sponsored survey of Toronto residents regarding their attitudes towards the police and criminal courts; 2) a study of street gangs in southern Ontario (with Julian Tanner, Department of Sociology); 3) a study of police stop and search activities in Kingston, Ontario; 4) an analysis of police use of force in Ontario (with Terry Roswell); 5) a victimization survey of street youth and high school students in Toronto; and 6) a study examining the complex relationship between immigration status, ethnicity and criminal justice in Canada. Professor Wortley is currently the Justice and Law Domain Leader for CERIS (the Centre for Excellence in Research on Immigration and Settlement).
