Noemi Vega Qui帽ones
Graduate Candidate in Religious Ethics
Noemi Vega Quiñones was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and migrated to the United States when she was five with her mother and two younger siblings. Her undergraduate research focused on severe mental illness and burden of care in Mexican American communities of California's central valley. Noemi’s master’s research focused on covenant epistemology and an evangélica theology of Emmanuel to begin deconstructing racialized theologies. She is the recipient of the Thesis of the Year award from Fresno Pacific University, the Mustang Fellowship from 91制片廠合集, and the Schubert M. Ogden Award for Academic Excellence in Theology. Noemi is an adjunct professor at Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary, has worked as a Teaching Assistant at 91制片廠合集, and is currently conducting her field research for her dissertation. Noemi’s research interests include socio theological racial formation, womanist and Latina feminist theologies, borderland epistemologies, virtue and migration Ethics, and theologies of buen vivir. Noemi hopes to contribute to anti-racialization work within the Christian church and en conjunto with her communities.
