About Jon Kara Shields

I am a 5th year Ph.D. student in the Theology Department at the University of Notre Dame in Christian Ethics and Moral Theology. Before coming to Notre Dame, I received an M.Div. from Yale Divinity School, an M.A. in Religious Studies from Cambridge University (Corpus) and a B.A. in Liberal Arts/Great Books from St. John’s College.
I passed my qualifying exams with high honors in 2017.
When I’m not reading and writing theology, I enjoy cooking, gardening, board games, and spending time with my children and spouse.
