Christina Llanes
Adjunct Professor at Lewis University and Elmhurst University
Field of Study: History
Dr. Christina Llanes received her PhD from The University of Chicago Divinity School in May 2023. Dr. Llanes specializes in the medieval Christian mysticism and her dissertation titled, “The Darkness in Christ’s Eyes: The Incarnational Theology of Divine Union in Angela of Foligno’s Memorial” is on Angela of Foligno, a thirteenth century Italian laywoman. She argues that Angela of Foligno advances a theology of divine passibility, a radical idea during the medieval period. Through her dissertation, Christina seeks to lift voices that have historically been overlooked or silenced.
