Scholarship

Dr. Price-Linnartz sometimes puts her four degrees to use in teaching, researching, and writing. Her areas of doctoral-level expertise include theology + ethics + the arts, approaching cultural and social construction from a decolonial perspective.

Her essay “The White Savior as Diseased Creation” (in The Art of New Creation, 2022) critiques the theological-historical underpinnings of the “white savior” trope in popular film and fiction.

Research Editor

As his editor, Dr. Price-Linnartz midwifed several publiations for Edgardo Colón-Emeric, Dean of Duke Divinity School, including The People Called Metodista: Renewing Doctrine, Worship, and Mission from the Margins (Abingdon, 2022).

What is the future of Methodism? Colón-Emeric offers a deep meditation on this difficult question and suggests an answer: we find its future in the margins of the church. Nashville and London must learn to sing together with Seoul, Latin America, and Africa.
