Susan Bigelow Reynolds is Assistant Professor of Catholic Studies and Interim Director of Catholic Studies at Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Her forthcoming book, People Get Ready: Ritual, Solidarity, and Lived Theology in Catholic Roxbury (Fordham University Press, 2022), is based on a five-year ethnographic study of St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church in Roxbury, Boston.
Susan Bigelow Reynolds, in her response to our Season 10 episode with Alyssa Maldonado-Estrada, calls attention to how Catholic devotionalism is frequently essentialized and limited in its understanding. She argues instead for a "more expansive consideration" of Catholic ritual ecology.
