Professor Farrow is a Canadian citizen, married with five children.聽 Before coming to 91社区 in 1998, he taught in the U.K.聽at King's College London, after聽completing聽his doctorate there under Colin Gunton. At 91社区, alongside his lecturing and graduate supervision, he has served on the university's Academic Policy Committee, as聽on numerous Faculty or School committees, and engaged in the work of the Newman Institute. He pursues聽a broad range of interdisciplinary interests, anchored in theology, with colleagues here and elsewhere聽in North America or Europe.
