Sandra Sullivan-Dunbar

Sandra Sullivan-Dunbar is an Associate Professor at Loyola University Chicago specializing in feminist Christian ethics through an interdisciplinary lens. Her research critically examines intersections of economic theory, political institutions, history, and social policy with particular emphasis on women's moral agency, reproductive lives, and reproductive labor.

Her educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Religious Ethics from the University of Chicago
• M.Div. from Jesuit School of Theology at Santa Clara University
• M.A. in Ethics and Social Theory from the Graduate Theological Union
• M.P.P. from Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California-Berkeley
• A.B. in Religious Studies from Brown University

Dr. Sullivan-Dunbar's research spans religion and reproductive justice, feminist ethics across Christian, philosophical and political domains, economic ethics, the care economy, and Christian social ethics. Her seminal book "Human Dependency and Christian Ethics" confronts the erasure of dependency and care work from political and economic theory, while her current projects analyze Catholic abortion discourse to develop a Catholic Christian ethic of reproductive justice within multiracial democracy frameworks.

Her publication trajectory reveals deepening engagement with political dimensions of reproductive ethics, evolving from theoretical foundations in dependency and care work toward urgent analyses of abortion discourse's impact on democratic institutions. This progression demonstrates consistent feminist methodology and interdisciplinary integration across theology, political theory, and economic ethics.
