“Earthy, funny, tender, and frank” Rambo Feminist theologian working on bodies, theologies, trauma, liturgy, Song of Songs, and smashing the patriarchy. Westcott House & Cambridge University (views my own etc etc)
The @feministtheology.bsky.social collaborated with @practicaltheology.bsky.social Hub for a series of articles and mine is out today: practicaltheologyhub.com?p=2081 #feminist #theology #iwd26
Great to see this, and to have been a small part of it with @karenod.bsky.social! Our chapter on feminist trauma theology and masculinities began as a conversation with the brilliant @revdwillrm.bsky.social, which you can find in this thread.
And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win
Lastly, a video! We are releasing a video of a conversation with Karen O’Donnell @karenod.bsky.social, Katie Cross @drkatiecross.bsky.social and I which formed the basis for a chapter in the book entitled ‘Moving from Feminist Trauma Theologies to Masculinities’. Watch here: youtu.be/U8WTsNfHAJ8?...
