Jonathan Tran is Associate Professor of Philosophical Theology and George W. Baines Chair of Religion at Baylor University. Originally from Southern California, Tran joined Baylor’s Religion Department in 2006 after completing my graduate studies in theology and ethics at Duke University. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses and my research examines the theological and political implications of human life in language. Along with my family, I live in residence on Baylor's campus, serving as Faculty Master of the Honors Residential College at Memorial and Alexander Halls.
