Biography

Job title:

Director, Theology and Religious Studies; Senior Lecturer in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics

Biography:

My primary research interests are public theology, John Macmurray scholarship, philosophy of religion, Christian ethics and feminist theology; hence, my research is interdisciplinary. In particular, I am concerned with definitions of personhood and community, the ethics of personal relations, gender justice and the use of social media by religious communities. I have also worked with Professor Don MacDonald, Seattle Pacific University and Professor Chris Sink, Old Dominion University on links between Macmurray's thought, systems thinking and family therapy

Qualifications:

BD(Hons) and a PhD in philosophy and theology at the University of Aberdeen (1999)
