I am delighted to welcome a new contributor to Rock and Theology: Natalie Kertes Weaver. She is going to be an excellent addition to the project. Professor Weaver is Chair and Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio. She is also the director of the Humanities program at Ursuline College.

Natalie has presented research on an array of topics in theology at regional, national, and international conferences.  She has published Marriage and Family: A Christian Theological Foundation (Anselm, 2009) and Christian Thought and Practice: A Primer (Anselm, 2011). Her areas of interest and expertise include feminist theology, theology of suffering, theology of family, intersex and sexual ethics, and religion and violence.  Natalie’s hobbies include creative writing and painting, and she has self-published two non-academic works: Baby’s First Latin (Booksurge, 2009) and Interior Design (CreateSpace, 2011). Natalie is married and has two sons.

Natalie, we warmly welcome you to R&T and look forward to your contributions!
