Danielle Dubois is an Associate Professor in the Department of Religion at the Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, where she has taught since 2012. She specializes in medieval and early modern Christianity, feminism, and contemplative traditions while actively mentoring Master's and PhD students.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Humanities from Johns Hopkins University (2012)
- MA in Philosophy from Université de Montréal (2005)
- BA Honours in Philosophy from the University of Saskatchewan (2001)
Dr. Dubois investigates intersections of religion, philosophy, and history with emphasis on marginalized voices. Her work examines medieval heretics like Marguerite Porete, modern beguine communities in Italy, and unacknowledged contributions of women scholars to medieval Christian studies. She integrates primary archival research from France, Italy, England, and the US into her teaching methodology.
Analysis of her publications reveals sustained focus on medieval religious thought, particularly reception history of heretical figures and feminist reinterpretations of religious narratives. Her research bridges historical analysis with contemporary issues like religion and artificial intelligence.
Her research is supported by significant awards:
- Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Insight Development Grant (2017-2022)
- UM/SSHRC Travel Grant (2017)
Dr. Dubois supervises graduate students in medieval studies and feminist theology while conducting international archival research. Her SSHRC-funded project on Marguerite Porete's legacy involved comparative analysis across European historical archives. She actively incorporates the University of Manitoba's Archives and Rare Books collection into student research.
Her fieldwork includes ethnographic engagement with modern beguine communities in Italy and collaborative international research networks focused on medieval religious history.
