Adam DJ Brett
Dr. Adam DJ Brett is the web designer and director of digital connections for Three Minute Ministry Mentor.
Adam holds his Ph.D. in Religion from Syracuse University and a ThM and MTS from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University. He also has graduate certificates in Women’s and Gender Studies from both institutions.
Currently, he is an International Research Associate with the American Indian Law Alliance (aila.ngo). His area of specialization is religion, media, and culture, with attention to mass media and the diffuse influence of U.S. Protestant Fundamentalism on media, culture, business, and politics during the early 20th century.
Adam is also interested in the efforts of Indigenous nations and peoples to oppose the usage of a 15th-century papal bull, the Doctrine of Discovery, to justify U.S. property laws that dispossess the lands of Indigenous nations and communities (upheld by the Supreme Court as recently as 2005 in Sherrill v. Oneida. Both projects allow him to anchor his work within the sub-disciplines of critical theories of religion and American religious history with careful attention to discourses of identity and power (via Michel Foucault). Professionally Adam has worked as a web developer, event planner, and social media manager for over a decade. He enjoys projects that allow him to integrate the academic study of religion with contemporary issues and create new digital humanities projects.
