Mark Brockway, Faculty Fellow in Religion and Political Science at Syracuse University

The Story: Mark Brockway is a Faculty Fellow in Religion and Political Science at Syracuse University whose work illuminates the complex and often invisible forces shaping American democracy. His research delves into the intersection of political identity, religion, and media, exploring how “anti-liberal demonology” has taken root in U.S. politics.

His recent book, The Shadow Gospel, and his investigations into the “politics of the demonic” offer a critical lens for understanding the deep fractures in our society. By studying everything from secularism to the rise of Christian nationalism, Mark provides the vital intellectual framework needed to navigate our current era of intense polarization.

The Work: For this project, I developed a clean, professional academic portfolio designed to make Mark’s dense and significant research accessible to a broader audience. The site serves as a central hub for his diverse body of work, ranging from his book releases to academic journal articles and popular media pieces.

• Website Development: Built a streamlined, responsive site that prioritizes readability and easy navigation between his research, teaching materials, and CV.

• Content Strategy: Organized complex academic publications—such as his work on “The Shadow Gospel” and articles for MIT Press—into a clear, digestible structure for students, journalists, and peers.

• Brand Presentation: The site reflects Mark’s academic rigor, offering a polished digital presence that supports his role as a thought leader at Syracuse University.
