Field of Study:  Systematic Theology and Adventist Studies

Dr. Irizarry is a graduate of Andrews University. Her dissertation, Interpretive Virtue, Ecclesial Context, and Social Location in Ephraim Radner and Richard Hays’s Proposals for Theological Interpretation of Scripture was defended on December 15, 2023.  Iriann is a Systematic Theology and Adventist Studies doctoral candidate.  Her current research focuses on contemporary theological interpretation and particularly examines the relationship between interpretive virtue in ecclesial contexts, the social location of interpreters, and theological methodology. While the experience of teaching in theological higher education confirmed and further stimulated her devotion to academic life as a way to empower others, she especially seeks to inspire other Latina women to become thought leaders within her denomination and beyond. Dr. Irizarry is interested in learning what it means to serve as a puertorriqueña theologian within her immediate Adventist communities and broader Latine communities with en conjunto vision.
