Greetings from the Interim Academic Dean
Thank you for your interest in Hartford Seminary. On this page you will be introduced to my incredible colleagues. Each of the teaching faculty below has a specific area of expertise or interest for which they are known by other colleagues, guilds, associations or readers. Some are internationally known for their research and publications. But these qualifications are truly only one part of a larger picture about the roles they play at Hartford Seminary. For each of my colleagues below is a committed teacher, mentor and advisor.
Hartford Seminary is rich with a diversity of teaching faculty who bring with them a variety of skill sets, experiences, and who come from diverse settings. We value that. We find that this diversity – not only of academic preparation and scholarship, but in religious persuasions, ethnicity, age, gender, and professional experiences – makes for an incredible laboratory of teaching and learning for students and faculty!
I hope you will be intrigued by the individual faculty members listed here and interested in finding out more about them and the courses they teach at Hartford Seminary. If you are interested in one of our degree programs, taking courses online, or just want to audit a course that is of interest to you, I think you will be pleased with what this faculty has to offer in your own educational pursuits and religious journey.
Sincerely,
The Rev. Dr. David D. Grafton, Ph.D.
