PhD Candidate
Biography : 

Petre Ene is a Ph.D. candidate in his 7th year at the University of Toronto. He is originally from Romania. He graduated with distinction from the BA program at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where he majored in Spanish Language and Culture. A year later, he obtained his MA from the University of Toronto, where he specialized in Medieval Spanish Literatures and Cultures.
His research interests in Catholic spirituality and the Spanish moral treaties developed when he was actively involved in missionary and charity work. Back in 2004, he became a collaborator for PaxTV in Bucharest, Romania. This experience encouraged him to take part in a year-long formation program under the patronage of the Pontifical Council for Laity in Rome. It was there, through his collaboration with the Emmanuel Community and the Missionaries of Charity, where he first began immersing himself in the Hispanic language and culture.
