Dean Brackley, SJ, is a theologian on the faculty of the University of Central American in San Salvador, where he teaches ethics. Originally from the U.S., he has lived in El Salvador since 1990, when he went to help fill the gap left after the assassination of the six Jesuit professors of the UCA. He is the author of several books of theology, combining his academic duties with community work in the rural parish of Jayaque, El Salvador, and serving as parish priest in Las Palmas, San Salvador. He was a hit with the Corner Project kids, as you can see from the photo, during a visit to Malinalco in 2001. In addition to advising The Corner Project on organizational issues, he and the children write to each other via internet.
