There are two spots available, for a 2 year term from September 1, 2022 – August 31, 2024.
Dr. Cynthia Cameron is the Patrick and Barbara Keenan Chair of Religious Education and Assistant Professor of Religious Education at the University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto. She teaches primarily in the Masters of Religious Education degree program, offering both core courses and a wide variety of religious education elective courses. As a part of the Toronto School of Theology, she works with doctoral students in religious education and serves as an Associate Editor of the Toronto Journal of Theology. Prior to coming to St. Michael’s she was Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Rivier University in New Hampshire and had a twenty-year career as an administrator and teacher in Catholic secondary schools. Cindy has been a member of REA since 2013, has presented at several annual conferences, and is the convener of the Adolescent Girls Faith Formation Working Group.
Cindy is completing a book with fellow REA member Christopher Welch entitled Life Abundant: God and the Created Order in Catholic Social Perspective, due out in the summer of 2022. With REA members Emily Peck-McClain and Lakisha Lockhart, she is also co-editing a volume exploring mistake-making, adolescents, and Christian religious education. Her contribution to the volume investigates the ways that Catholic school teachers address questions of sin and mistake-making with girls. Her other research interests revolve around questions of female adolescence in Christian theological anthropology and Catholic secondary education. She is especially interested in the ways that the theological tradition has neglected adolescence in general and female adolescence in particular and in the ways that Catholic schools can help the church think theologically about adolescent girls.
