Queer theology speaks vitally to the lives of so many, and yet is often intimidating to first engage with. This guided reading group aims to introduce students to queer theology via Linn Tonstad’s excellent and accessible introduction, Queer Theology: Beyond Apologetics (2022).
Due to copyright restrictions we will not be able to provide copies of the text for this course. Students will need to source their own copies. A limited number of copies are available to borrow from the Heythrop Library, membership of which is included in the course. Please contact the library for more information.

Dr Nicolete Burbach is the Social and Environmental Justice Lead at the London Jesuit Centre. Her PhD thesis looked at Pope Francis’ hermeneutics of uncertainty, and her research focuses on resourcing Pope Francis to think through issues of alienation and disagreement, with a particular focus on navigating the difficulties around trans inclusion in the Church. Previously, she has taught modules on postmodern theology and Catholic Social Teaching, both at Durham University.
