Mary-Jane Rubenstein is Assistant Professor of Religion at Wesleyan University, and
core faculty in the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program. She holds a B.A. in
Religion and English from Williams College, an M.Phil. in Philosophical Theology from
Cambridge University, and an M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. from Columbia University, where she
also received a Certificate in Comparative Literature and Society. Her primary research
interests lie in the intersections of continental philosophy and Christian theology.
Secondary areas of focus include gender, and sexuality studies; post-colonial
Christianities; and literary and critical theory. She has published articles on
Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Derrida, negative theology, and global Anglicanism, and her
forthcoming book explores Western philosophy’s foundation in, and ambivalence to, the
pathos of wonder (thaumazein). She has strong weaknesses for ice cream and musical
theatre.
