Brianne Jacobs is a Catholic feminist theologian, engaging the resources of the Catholic intellectual tradition to work for gender justice and flourishing. I am a passionate advocate for my students. I enjoy teaching classes where together, grounded in Emmanuel's heritage as a Catholic Women’s College, we critically explore issues that are important to students. I love big cities, big books, and big conversations.
What I Love About Emmanuel:
I love my students, the Saints! I am passionate about engaging the resources of the Catholic intellectual tradition with students to think about their own flourishing. I enjoy teaching classes where together we can explore Emmanuel's Catholic religious heritage, and connect it to contemporary issues that are important to students. I love good fiction and music, and always enjoy my students' recommendations.
Professor Jacobs' research focuses on the body and gender as a site for reflection on theological anthropology, ecclesiology, God, and justice.
Emmanuel is a place where students broaden their sense of what’s possible and prepare for inspiring careers in an ever-changing world. Be here.
