Introducing the two new Fellows elected to the Learned Society of Wales in 2023 who work in history, archaeology, philosophy and theology
Professor Lisa Isherwood FLSW
Professor of Practice in Theology
University of Wales, Trinity St. David
Lisa Isherwood is a Professor of Practice in Theology at University of Wales Trinity St David and Professor Emerita of Feminist Liberation Theologies, University of Winchester. She has had a significant impact on theology, particularly in promoting feminist and queer studies. Her research, much translated, has led to the inclusion of these perspectives in conventional theology and has changed the way theology is taught and discussed internationally. Professor Isherwood has held leadership positions in various academic and professional organisations and collaborates with colleagues worldwide.
"'I am truly delighted and honoured to be elected to the Society and look forward to many enlivening conversations and projects ahead'."
