Broadly Dr. Hall’s research and teaching address the call to justice with the human Other alongside the call to justice with Earth as Other. Her research interests include the Pauline corpus, poverty and wealth in the Roman economy, and ecological and liberationist hermeneutics. Her methodological commitments include empire criticism, reading the biblical text within its historical contexts of empire, as well as feminist theory. She works to epistemologically privilege voices that have historically been excluded from the classroom and the church.
