Professor Cynthia Moe-Lobeda is affiliated with the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley. She specializes in theological ethics, particularly focusing on climate justice, climate colonialism, race, class, economic globalization, moral agency, and hope. In October 2022, she served as the MF CASR Global Fellow and delivered a talk titled Climate Colonialism, Climate Justice and Faith: Crisis and Calling for the Church, emphasizing the moral urgency of addressing climate catastrophe and the role of the church in these global movements.

Her research integrates interdisciplinary perspectives to explore systemic injustices exacerbated by climate change and advocates for ethical responses rooted in faith-based frameworks. The MF KOM lunch event, held hybridly at Auditorium 2 and via Zoom, highlighted her expertise in linking theological ethics to urgent environmental and social justice issues.
