Jennifer Leath

Jennifer Leath (Religious Studies) studies Afro-Diasporic spiritual traditions and liberation theoethics through the disciplines of African American Studies and Religious Ethics. She is particularly interested in the ways that womanist conceptualizations of embodiment inform and transform black women’s work ethics. Ordained in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and active in the ecumenical movement, Leath is also attuned to the ecclesiological implications of her scholarship. She received her AB in Social Studies and African American Studies (magna cum laude) from Harvard University in 2003 and her M.Div. in 2007 at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York as a Traveling Fellow.
