Society for the Study of Theology Conference 2025: Flesh and Blood Theologies
This week, Dr Oana Sânziana Marian presented her paper “Pregnancy Loss in Clinical-Theological Dialogue” at the Society for the Study of Theology (SST) annual conference.
Held this year at the University of Warwick, the conference draws theologians, ministers, and researchers from across the globe, and featured plenary sessions by distinguished scholars, including Drs Margaret Kamitsuka and Dianne M. Stewart, among others.
The theme, Flesh and Blood Theologies, explored the intersections of theology and embodied experience through seminar streams such as Black Theology, Ecotheology, LGBTQI+ Theology, Theological Ethics, Theology and the Arts, Theology and Science, among others. Dr Marian’s paper drew on her work with the Pregnancy Loss Research Group (alongside colleague Dr Daniel Nuzum and others), her experience as a healthcare chaplain trainee, and the work of feminist theologian Karen O’Donnell, whose work looks at reproductive loss, as detailed in her book The Dark Womb: Re-Conceiving Theology through Reproductive Loss.
