        Theologian

         

      • I lecture in Systematic Theology at St. Patrick's Pontifical University (Maynooth, Ireland) and publish in the fields of theological anthropology and theology and literature.

         

        I bring the books of the forgotten female writers of the Catholic Revival back into print. I give talks and workshops on these women and the theological themes in their novels, as well as academic papers on a range of theological topics.

         

        Passionate about flowers and plants in all their aspects, I am currently working on a 'theology of plants'.
