Jane McCamant
I am a sociologist of religion and morality and would bring that substantive expertise to the work of the GBEC. I received my PhD in 2020, and am currently a Social Sciences Teaching Fellow in the Department of Sociology and the College at the University of Chicago. My own research expertise is in the history of moral and religious education, and I have studied moral philosophy and the history of theological ethics. As a teacher I design and evaluate countless written assignments, and I have familiarity with double-blind review processes through my work with the American Journal of Sociology. I would also bring to the GBEC experience of the discernment and ordination process. Since 2018 I have served on Chicago's Commission on Ministry, and since January 2020 as vice-chair. Serving on the search committee for the 13th bishop of Chicago has also given me experience of consensus-based work using both online and in-person collaboration.
