Patrick C. Goujon is a Professor in the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford, serving as a Senior Research Fellow at Campion Hall. He specializes in the history of Jesuit spirituality and mysticism, particularly during the Early Modern period. Goujon has a rich academic background, having previously served as the Dean of Studies at the Facultés Loyola Paris for nine years. His academic journey includes lecturing on Jesuit history at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris and completing his doctorate focused on the correspondence of Jean-Joseph Surin, a 17th-century French Jesuit.
