A constructive theologian, Olivia Bustion draws on ethnographic and analytic-philosophical methods to investigate the conceptual possibilities and limits of theological models from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: What do such models reveal? What do they obscure? Her current book project develops a new model of the Spirit in conversation with feminist, queer, and disability theories to rethink agency and personhood as emergent features of friendships rather aptitudes of individuals. This book is the first stage of a larger research agenda that turns to Abrahamic theologies as resources for dismantling oppressive systems. Olivia’s teaching equips students to think constructively with a variety of religious traditions about gender, sexuality, disability, and race. Olivia received a Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 2023 and a Ph.D. in English Language & Literature from the University of Michigan in 2012.
