Meredith Minister, Assistant Professor of Religion, Shenandoah University. Grew up on a dairy farm in Western Kentucky and tries not to think about the components of her life that contributed to the development of stage IV colon cancer at 33 (but finds herself dwelling on it sometimes – the glyphosate or the Vienna sausages?). She is the author of Rape Culture on Campus (Lexington, 2018) and Trinitarian Theology and Power Relations: God Embodied (Palgrave, 2014) and the coeditor (with Sarah Bloesch) of Cultural Approaches to Studying Religion: An Introduction to Theories and Methods (Bloomsbury, 2018) and The Bloomsbury Reader in Cultural Approaches to the Study of Religion (Bloomsbury, 2018). She’s currently compiling an edited volume with Rhiannon Graybill and Beatrice Lawrence (both of whom she met at the Wabash Pre-Tenure Workshop) Rape Culture and Religious Studies: Critical and Pedagogical Engagements (Lexington) and thinking about futurity, death, and what we can learn from aliens.
