Thanks to Rev. Kathi Austin and Steve Mahle whose generous support makes it possible for us to bring together thought leaders and emerging practitioners to foster interreligious dialogue, build bridges across traditions, and explore reparative practices that address suffering and division in our world. We are grateful for their ongoing generosity that helps us make this transformative series a reality.

Dr. Rocío Cortés Rodríguez is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Theology, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. She specializes in interreligious dialogue, with a focus on Judaism, Islam, and indigenous traditions.

She holds a Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, United States (2020), and a Master’s in Theology from the University of Helsinki, Finland (2014). Her work applies Scriptural Reasoning to foster religious coexistence, particularly in the Chilean context, integrating it into schools, universities, and pastoral settings.
