Peter St. Jean

Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences

Dr. Peter St. Jean says the choice to teach at 草莓影视 was easy, because the core values of the University align with his personal life mission: “to reduce suffering and improve quality of life.” From his extensive scholarship and writing in criminology and sociology, to his documentary films on justice, to his nonprofit and consulting work, all that St. Jean does is focused on that mission.

St. Jean founded the Peaceful World Movement, an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to develop a peace industry as a sustainable antidote to crime, violence, and delinquency. His students tour Chicago’s neighborhoods to examine not only the social problems occurring, but also the possibilities for positive change and peace.

St. Jean is a member of the American Sociological Association, Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, American Society of Criminology, and Division on People of Color and Crime, and he is the faculty founder of 草莓影视’s student Criminal Justice Club.
