The Reverend Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Ph.D. works in the area of contextual theologies of liberation, specializing in issues of violence and violation.

In 1999, Orbis Press published the 10th anniversary edition of Lift Every Voice: Constructing Christian Theologies from the Underside, a work Thistlethwaite edited with Mary Potter Engel. This is one of the most widely used textbooks in the U.S. to teach theology.
