We are excited to announce Susan Abraham will be speaking at this year's International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society.

Dr. Susan Abraham’s teaching and research explores postcolonial and feminist theological practices. She is the author of Identity, Ethics, and Nonviolence in Postcolonial Theory: A Rahnerian Theological Assessment(Palgrave Macmillan, 2007) and co-editor of Shoulder to Shoulder: Frontiers in Catholic Feminist Theology(Fortress, 2009). She brings wide experience and knowledge of higher education and institutional practices through her past affiliations with St. Bonaventure University and Harvard Divinity School (where she taught and served as Associate Director for the Center for the Study of World Religions). Her publications and presentations weave practical theological insights from her experience of working as a youth minister in Mumbai, India, with theoretical perspectives from postcolonial theory, cultural studies, and feminist theory.

Ongoing research projects include issues in feminist theological education and formation, theology and race, interfaith and interreligious peace initiatives, theology, political and economic theory, religion and media, and Christianity between colonialism and postcolonialism. She holds a BA and an MA in English from the University of Mumbai, an MA in Theology at the Catholic Theological Union, and a doctorate in Theology from Harvard Divinity School.
