Timo Helenius

Visiting Scholar | Brown University

Dr. Timo Helenius received his PhD in philosophy from Boston College in 2013, and he has been a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Religious Studies at Brown University since 2016. Helenius has taught philosophy and ethics at Boston College, Mount Ida College, and—most recently—at the University of New Brunswick Saint John as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Helenius’s research has focused on contemporary Continental philosophy in general and in Paul Ricoeur in particular. His work, Ricoeur, Culture, and Recognition: A Hermeneutic of Cultural Subjectivity, was published by Lexington Books (Rowman & Littlefield) in 2016. Helenius is currently working on another book-length project that focuses on the implied phenomenology of religious expressivity.
