Life and Education[edit]
Ally Moder was born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada. She is the first of her nuclear family to attend and graduate university, receiving her higher education in Canada and the United States. Moder earned her BA (Communications) from Trinity Western University, an MA in Christian Theology from Regent College (in Vancouver, BC) where she was a Research and Teaching Assistant for John G. Stackhouse, Jr. She also earned a PhD in Practical Theology from Claremont School of Theology, writing her dissertation on practices of recovery for faith-based female survivors of domestic abuse. She is an active member of the American Academy of Religion, Society for the Study of Theology (UK), and the Society for Pastoral Theology, regularly presenting papers at their annual conferences. Moder has also been awarded numerous scholarships for her academic work addressing #MeToo, violence against women and girls—particularly domestic abuse and intimate partner/dating violence—and abuse in the Church. Utilizing a critical correlational methodological approach integrating theology, psychology, women's studies, neuroscience, and sociology, Moder's teaching and scholarship strongly emphasis the importance of recognizing the power and privilege of social location, to empower individuals, organizations, and systems to attend to issues of diversity and inclusion for the well-being of all.
