Welcome to the Tomistic Institute podcast.

Our mission is to promote the Catholic intellectual tradition in the university, the church, and the wider public square.

The lectures on this podcast are organized by university students at Temistic Institute chapters around the world.

To learn more and to attend these events, visit

is a research fellow of the Ian Ramsey Center for Science and Religion at the Faculty

of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford.

He works in association both with the Dominicans and the Jesuits, so the Dominicans at Black Priors and the Jesuits at Campion.

He is the principal investigator for the conceptual clarity concerning human nature project funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation.

Before coming to Oxford, Dr. DeHan was a postdoctoral fellow in the Faculty of Divinity at the University

of Cambridge, working on the neuroscience strand of the Templeton World Charity Foundation

fellowships in theology, philosophy of religion, and the sciences project directed by Sarah

Coakley.

During this postdoctoral fellowship, he conducted

translational cognitive neuroscience laboratory in the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge.
