She is also a Research Fellow for the New Media Project at the Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis and Co-Director of the Institute for Art, Religion, and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary, where she served as Director of Theological Initiatives and Senior Adviser to the President from 2008-2011.
