Rev Dr Seforosa Carroll is an Australian Fiji born Rotuman theologian who spent her formative years growing up in Lautoka, the Western side of Viti Levu in Fiji.
These formative experiences continue to inform Sef’s theological reflections on cross-cultural relationships, Indigenous spirituality/epistemologies, gender and sexuality, migration, eco-theology, climate justice, interfaith dialogue, religious pluralism, ecumenism and culture from a diasporic perspective of a migrant who calls Australia one of her homes.
Sef graduated with a PhD in theology at Charles Sturt University in 2015. Sef is a CTI Fellow and was a resident member of the 2017-2018 Inquiry into Religion and Migration at the Center of Theological Inquiry, Princeton, USA and is a Research Fellow of the Public and Contextual Theology Research Center (PaCT), Charles Sturt University, Australia.
Sef is a great believer in the powerful role theology can play in bringing about transformative change. Sef is an interdisciplinary theologian whose research falls into the categories of public, contextual and practical theologies. Migration, Home, and Hospitality are key themes in Sef’s research and publications.
Dr Alexandra Robinson’s postgraduate study began at St Mark’s National Theological Centre analysing the relationship between the Epistle of Jude and the book of Enoch. She carried out her doctoral work at Macquarie University on the harsh rhetoric of Jude’s epistle in relationship with Jewish woe oracles and Greco-Roman invective.
This research led to the publication of her monograph with T&T Clark and subsequent articles on harsh rhetoric in both Jude’s epistle and the gospel of John, published through New Testament Studies, Novum Testamentum, and the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism.
