- About Me
I’m the Biggs Professor of the History of Christianity & United Methodist Studies Emerita at Phillips Theological Seminary. I retired in 2020. Among my courses were those on women’s issues in ministry and women’s history. I have written about Methodism in New Orleans in the late 19th, the 20th and the 21st centuries.
My Ph.D. is from Tulane and my M.Div. from SMU.
