Suzanne Holland serves as Professor of Religion, Spirituality, and Society and holds the John B. Magee Professorship of Science and Values at the University of Puget Sound, concurrently directing the Bioethics program. Her teaching portfolio includes foundational courses in bioethics (BIOE/REL 292-B) and ethical philosophy (REL 302-A), integrating religious ethics with contemporary scientific and societal challenges.
Dr. Holland's academic foundation comprises a BA from Indiana University (1978), MA from Louisville Seminary (1991), and PhD from the Graduate Theological Union (1997).
Her research critically examines ethical dilemmas at the intersection of biotechnology and religious values, with concentrated expertise in human genetics, stem cell research, and commodification processes. She extends this analysis to broader cultural frameworks, exploring how religious perspectives inform public policy debates and gender equity considerations. This interdisciplinary approach bridges theological scholarship with practical bioethical applications.
