Brenton Dickieson (PhD, University of Chester) is a teacher, writer, and researcher from Prince Edward Island. Brenton teaches in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Prince Edward Island and is a founding member of the Curiosity and Inquiry Research and Collaboration Lab (CIRCL). He is also a faculty coach, lecturer, and preceptor in the MA program at Signum University, and teaches occasionally in SPACE.
Brenton is the curator of the literature and culture blog, www.aPilgrimInNarnia.com, which has recently passed 1,300 articles and 2,000,000 views. His forthcoming book with Oxford University Press is called The Shape of the Cross in C.S. Lewis’s Spiritual Imagination. Brenton once wrote, co-produced, and acted in a 12-episode children’s television show only available on VHS, but after a decades-long hiatus, he returns to the microphone as the host and founding producer of the MaudCast: The Official Podcast of the Lucy Maud Montgomery Institute.
Brenton lives in the almost-fantastical land of Prince Edward Island. He shares his home with his wife Kerry, a superstar kindergarten teacher, and Nicolas, a singer-songwriter and critic who uses the Spare Oom for his recording studio, while Brenton’s office is in a damp corner in the basement.
