I am a comparativist who works within the Shi'i and Catholic traditions. I apply historical, linguistic, and anthropological methodologies to the study of religion. At the same time, I approach the study of religion primarily as a religious ethicist, posing theological and philosophical questions to this subject matter. My case studies focus on women’s social movements, emergent forms of political action, and performances of gender and sexuality. **Areas of Academic Interest: * Comparative Religious Ethics * Shi'i Islam * Catholic Moral Theology * Gender and Sexuality Studies
