Dr. Monique Moultrie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Georgia State University's College of Arts and Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University (2010), an M.T.S. from Harvard Divinity School (2002), and a B.A. from Duke University (1999). Her academic work bridges religious studies, gender studies, and African American studies with a focus on sexuality and race.
Dr. Moultrie's research examines the intersections of religion, race, and sexual ethics, with particular attention to Black women's experiences and Black lesbian religious leadership. Her scholarship reveals how religious media shapes Black women's sexuality and how faith communities navigate issues of reproductive justice, marriage norms, and sexual agency. She approaches these topics through womanist theological frameworks that center Black women's experiences.
Her publications demonstrate consistent engagement with contemporary issues in religion and sexuality, showing an evolution from analyzing religious media representations to exploring Black lesbian religious leadership and faith activism. Recent work focuses on self-determination among Black lesbian religious leaders and the concepts of family among Black Christian childfree women.
