Professor Phillips joined the faculty at Hope College
in 2012. Prior to coming to Hope, he completed a Ph.D. in Economics
from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. During this time,
he worked on research in international development and urban
poverty. Much of his time was spent with Jubilee Jobs, a local
non-profit working with urban unemployment and the World Bank's
Africa Technical Health Unit. He has a passion for integrating
faith and social justice, which was influenced by time spent living
in an intentional community and attending the Church of the Saviour
in D.C. Professor Phillips has been married to his wife, Janelle,
for five years. He enjoys competing in most sports and playing
board games of all kinds. He particularly enjoys both watching
and statistical analysis of baseball.
