About
Rosemary Kellison (Ph.D., 2013, Florida State University) is a comparative religious ethicist with expertise in ethics of war, gender and feminism. Kellison’s current research draws on feminist ethical concepts of human vulnerability and solidarity in a critical examination of religious and philosophical accounts of moral damage, guilt, and grief related to the experience of war and other forms of state violence. In a second current project, Kellison explores what a feminist approach to the study of religious ethics entails, along with the place of such an approach within the larger discipline of religious studies.
