Announcing a Year-Long Speaker Series:
The Sacred & The Sexual: Deepening the Conversation on Campus
As part of our ongoing process of understanding the delicate intersections of faith and sexuality and discerning our response, the Office of Mission and Ministry, the Division of Student Affairs, and the LGBTQ Resource ...Center present a series of speakers who will help us engage, develop, deepen, and elevate our critical understanding around these issues.
Featured Speaker:
Donna Freitas, PhD (C'94)
author of Sex and the Soul -- Juggling Sexuality, Spirituality, Romance and Religion on America's College Campuses
Respondents:
Ryan Callahan (SFS '10)

Donna Freitas (C'94) is Assistant Professor of Religion at Boston University. Her recent book, Sex and the Soul (Oxford, 2008), is based on a national study about the influence of sexuality and romantic relationships on the spiritual identities of America’s college students. Much of her writing, teaching, and lecturing centers around struggles of belonging and alienation with regard to faith, particularly among young adults and especially with regard to young women.
She has recently published her first fiction novel, The Possibilities of Sainthood, about a 15 year old girl who aspires to become the first official living saint in Catholic history. A regular contributor to The Washington Post’s online panel “On Faith,” as well as Beliefnet, and Publishers Weekly, Freitas has also written for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Christian Century and School Library Journal, and has appeared as a commentator on NPR’s All Things Considered. Her other books include Becoming a Goddess of Inner Poise: Spirituality for the Bridget Jones in All of Us, and Save the Date: A Spirituality of Dating, Love, Dinner & the Divine. A graduate of Georgetown College, Freitas received her Ph.D. from Catholic University.
