Dr. Hugh R. Page, Jr. is Dean of the First Year of Studies. He is also the Walter Associate Professor of Theology and an Associate Professor of Africana Studies. Since coming to Notre Dame in 1992, he has offered classes in biblical studies, Near Eastern languages (Hebrew, Ugaritic, Akkadian, and Sumerian), ancient myth, and theology. In addition to his regular cycle of undergraduate and graduate courses, he has taught in both the Honors and Core Programs. His particular research interests are in early Hebrew poetry; the cultural content of ancient epic; theories of myth; African American biblical interpretation; poetry as medium for theological expression; the use of religious traditions and sacred texts in the construction of individual and corporate identity in the Black community; and the role of mysticism and esoterism in African-American, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Canadian spirituality.
