Bobbi Patterson, Senior Lecturer (1996). Her research focuses on spiritual practices, particularly in relation to wilderness and social change. With training in feminist theory and theology, her interests generally focus at the intersections of symbolisms of the body, psychodynamics, and cultural construction/reconstruction. Her comparative fields are Christianity and Tibetan Buddhism. An advocate of "scholar citizenship" for faculty and students, she facilitates workshops, programs, and community partnerships in experiential and community-based learning. Committed to the scholarship of teaching, she has published numerous articles on these topics. She received her B.A. from Smith College with a major in Religion, M.Div. from Harvard and Ph.D. from Emory. She lives with her husband in Decatur, Georgia, and enjoys kayaking, swimming, and hiking.
