Gerard Molyneaux, F.S.C., Ph.D.

Bro. Gerry has written books on Charlie Chaplin, James Stewart, & John Sayles.

Brother Gerry is no stranger to the La Salle campus. He graduated in 1958 with a Bachelor's Degree in English and then went on to earn a Master's in Theology a year later. In 1965 he received a Master's in English from the University of Notre Dame and then earned his Doctorate in Communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1976. Between 1972 and 1973, Bro. Gerry was a Professor at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois before returning to his alma mater in 1973 as Professor and Assistant Chair of the English Department.

When the Communication Department broke from the English Department in 1985, Bro. Gerry became the first Chair. In 2004, he stepped down from Chair to become the department's Director of External and International Relations.

Bro. Gerry's love of film is shown through his publications: Charlie Chaplin's 'City Lights' (1983), James Stewart: A Bio-Bibliography (1992), Gregory Peck: A Bio-Bibliography (1995), and John Sayles (2000).

In addition to his love of films, Bro. Gerry also enjoys biking, music, and sports, particularly the "Fightin' Irish" of Notre Dame. While not in the classroom teaching about film, Bro. Gerry moderates the Sigma Phi Lambda fraternity and takes an active interest in Communication alumni. He also enjoys helping recent graduates in their search for jobs.
