After completing her undergraduate education in her native Bangalore, India, Sharon earned her Masters of Divinity from Lancaster Theological Seminary in Lancaster, PA. She also has a Masters of Sacred Theology from Yale Divinity School and her PhD from Drew University in Madison, NJ. Her book Reading Mary Alongside Indian Surrogate Mothers: Violent Love, Oppressive Liberation, and Infancy Narratives was published by Palgrave MacMillan under the Bible and Culture Series in 2015. In this book, Sharon takes a hard look at the growing industry of surrogacy in India and uses the stories of these real life mothers as a lens to reread the Biblical figure of Mary in the infancy narratives with the hope that a more complex and nuanced interpretation of her motherhood can begin to emerge within the globalized context. Dr. Sharon Jacob’s research interests include gender and sexuality studies, postcolonial theory, race and whiteness theory, and feminist studies.
