Audrey Seah serves as an Assistant Professor with dual appointments in the Religious Studies Department and Africana Studies program at the College of the Holy Cross. Her academic profile bridges theological inquiry with social justice concerns, specifically examining how religious practices intersect with disability identity and global cultural contexts.
Dr. Seah's educational foundation includes a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame, where she developed expertise in comparative liturgical traditions and institutional religious dynamics.
Her research program centers on three interconnected domains:
- Liturgical studies: Documenting worship adaptations across cultural boundaries with emphasis on embodied participation
- Global Catholicism: Investigating vernacular expressions of faith in African, Asian, and Latin American communities
- Deaf and disability theology: Developing frameworks for accessible sacramental participation and critiquing ableist assumptions in religious texts
Dr. Seah maintains active engagement with both academic and faith communities through conference presentations and consultation with religious institutions seeking to implement inclusive practices. Her work has established her as a emerging voice in disability-conscious theology, particularly regarding Deaf Catholic communities. Contact for research collaboration or academic advising is facilitated through her institutional email address.
