Mónica Rey

Mónica I. Rey is Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Gammon Theological Seminary and adjunct professor of Gender Studies at Babson College. A feminist biblical scholar, she holds a PhD in Religious Studies from Boston University, a graduate certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies from BU, and participated in the MIT GCWS Workshop for Dissertation Writers in Women’s and Gender Studies. As a Latina of Peruvian descent, her pedagogy is intersectional and experiential, embracing diverse epistemologies and perspectives. Her teaching spans courses on religion, gender, sexuality, and violence.

Rey’s scholarship traces the afterlives of biblical texts in contemporary theology, discourse, and political practice, with a particular focus on gendered violence, war, and captivity. She has published in the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion and the Journal of the American Academy of Religion, and has work forthcoming in The Bible and Violence (Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2026) and the Oxford Handbook of the Hebrew Bible, Gender, and Sexuality. Her first monograph, Gendering Genocide in the Hebrew Bible, is forthcoming with Routledge. Rey was a 2024–2025 CURA Fellow at Boston University’s Institute on Culture, Religion, and World Affairs and a 2023–2024 Charles E. Scheidt Faculty Fellow with the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention. She serves as co-editor of the Feminist Studies in Religion CoLaboratory and is an active member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars.
