Corrine L. Carvalho

Corrine L. Carvalho serves as Professor of Theology within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of St. Thomas, specializing in Old Testament studies with a focus on prophetic literature, exilic texts, and gender analysis. Her scholarly contributions bridge ancient biblical contexts with contemporary sociopolitical frameworks.

Her academic credentials include a PhD in Hebrew Bible from Yale University, an MA in Old Testament from the Graduate Theological Union (Berkeley), and a BA in Latin from the University of San Francisco. These qualifications underpin her methodological rigor in textual analysis and historical reconstruction.

Carvalho’s research examines trauma, identity formation, and colonial violence through feminist and intersectional lenses, particularly in Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Ezekiel. She investigates how divine imagery intersects with masculinity, social location, and media reception, revealing enduring theological tensions between divine sovereignty and human suffering. Her work consistently centers marginalized perspectives within biblical narratives.

Analysis of her publication trajectory since 2009 reveals sustained engagement with Ezekiel’s prophetic visions, Jeremiah’s metaphorical language, and Lamentations’ ethics of survival. Key thematic clusters include gendered readings of prophetic literature, trauma theory applications, and critiques of colonial violence—all demonstrating interdisciplinary synthesis of theology, literary criticism, and social theory.

As editor of the Anselm Companion to the Bible (2014) and contributor to major reference works, she has shaped pedagogical approaches to biblical interpretation. Her scholarship appears in venues including Catholic Biblical Quarterly and Fortress Press anthologies, reflecting ecumenical scholarly impact.
