My MA (2001) and PhD (2011) are both at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Follow this link for more information about the Divinity School, including members of my dissertation committee, Richard Rosengarten and Dwight Hopkins (readers). My advisor, Kathryn Tanner, is now at Yale Divinity School. My third reader, Joshua Kellman, is a clinical faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Chicago, and a faculty member at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. I've also provided a link to the Institute. In addition to the areas of specialization in which I completed doctoral exams (Christian thought, religion and literature), I have done significant graduate coursework in Hebrew Bible, religion and psychology, ethics, and pedagogy, as well as graduate and post-graduate coursework in clinical social work, family systems theory, and psychoanalysis. My undergraduate coursework emphasized English and French literature and psychology. See my Coursework page for highlights of my training in these areas of study.
Previously Dorothy Grant Maclear Professor of Theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School, Kathryn Tanner is the Frederick Marquand Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School. Professor Tanner's books include God and Creation in Christian Theology; The Politics of God; Theories of Culture; Jesus, Humanity, and the Trinity; and Christ the Key. She is a past president of the American Theological Society.
