Kendra G. Hotz has offered courses in ethics, the history of theology, and church history. Her research interests center on the intersection of moral and liturgical theology, including questions about how theories of personhood are embedded in worship practices in Christian traditions. She is currently at work on a book exploring how liturgies shape the ways Christians frame and respond to moral problems.
