Speaker Series: Winnifred Fallers Sullivan

Winnifred Fallers Sullivan is a Visiting Scholar at the American Bar Foundation. She is the Provost Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Indiana University Bloomington. Sullivan is also an Affiliate Professor of Law Emeritus at Maurer School of Law, and the former Director of the IU Center for Religion and the Human. She is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 

Sullivan’s research focuses on the phenomenology of religion under the modern rule of law. Sullivan has training in law and religious studies, and she has taught in both law schools and in religious studies departments; she practiced law after graduating from law school and later returned to graduate school to study religion. From this interdisciplinary background, Sullivan focuses on the intersection of religion and law in the US within a broader comparative field, both theoretically and cross-culturally. Within legal studies, her work falls broadly in sociolegal and critical legal studies.
