PhD Student Justin "Secco" Cruz is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Religion at the University of Georgia, whose research interests center around the lived social experience of Latine religious communities with a focus on charismatic Christianity in Latin America, more specifically regarding Pentecostalism in the Dominican Republic. As a secondary set of interests, he studies how sociologically-informed Latine religious ethics intertwine with politics, including political philosophy and public displays.
