African American Studies / Religious Ethics
E-mail: sofia.betancourt@yale.edu
I received a B.S. from Cornell University in 1997 and an M.Div from Starr King School for the Ministry (a member school of the Graduate Theological Union) in 2003. I am an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister and for the past ten years have focused my intellectual and professional commitments on the intersection of postcolonial theory and liberation theology as a nexus for nourishing activism and social justice work. My primary research interests are womanist and mujerista postcolonial/liberation theologies, their impact on religious ethics, and the connection of key protest writers to the construction of theologies that sustain contemporary activism.
