Breve biografia: Considered one of the leading authorities on community economic development in Canada. A Catholic priest, Greg started to teach at CBU’s predecessor institution, Xavier College, in 1963; he retired in 2001. Greg’s doctorate on the philosophy of action is from Louvain University. A passionate defender of liberal education, Greg ensured that the place of philosophy and religious studies was not lost in the difficult and protracted politicking that led to an independent university on Cape Breton Island. In his research, Greg now works on the theory and practice of community economic development, where he has had an enormous impact. He is a member of the Order of Canada. Greg is a professor emeritus and an active researcher for the Tompkins Institute.
