معرفی
Shannon Dunn serves as Professor and Department Chair of Religious Studies at Gonzaga University, with additional affiliations spanning Health Equity and Sustainable Development Goals 5 (Gender Equality), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions). Her institutional role emphasizes interdisciplinary engagement across religious, legal, and social justice frameworks.
Her research critically examines intersections of religion and secular legal systems through gendered and ethical lenses, with core expertise in comparative religious ethics, religious law, and sexuality studies. Dunn investigates how religious frameworks address structural violence, social critique, and equity, employing ethnographic methodologies to analyze subjectivity in ethical reasoning. Her scholarship consistently bridges theological inquiry with contemporary socio-political challenges, particularly regarding identity politics and communal solidarity.
Publication trends (2016-2023) reveal sustained focus on religious ethics in public discourse, including analyses of Christian arguments in appropriation debates (2023), pandemic ethics (2020), and feminist-pragmatist critiques of authority (2016). Her work demonstrates methodological diversity across ethnography, comparative analysis, and social theory while maintaining thematic coherence around justice, religious freedom, and systemic inequality.
