Linda Hogan (ethicist)

Linda F. Hogan (born 1964) is an Irish ethicist, theologian and academic, specialising in Christian ethics, political ethics, human rights, gender, and ecumenism. She is Professor of Ecumenics at Trinity College Dublin, where she was also Vice-Provost and Chief Academic Officer from 2011 to 2016.[1][2][3][4][5] She worked as a lecturer at the University of Chester and University of Leeds before joining the staff of Trinity College, Dublin.

Early life and education

Hogan studied history and theology at National University of Ireland Maynooth and St Patrick's College, Maynooth (a Catholic seminary and pontifical university that shares NUIM's campus), graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[4][6] She remained at Maynooth to study for a two-year Master of Arts (MA) degree.[4] Then moved to Trinity College Dublin, to undertake research in theology for her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, which she completed in 1991.[6]

Honours

In 2007, she was made a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, an honorary appointment.[4]

In 2013, it was suggested that Pope Francis might appoint her as the first female cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church: she had been nominated Fr James Keenan SJ.[7][8]

In 2021 she was considered for the role of Provost of the college when the position was being considered for one of three women, including Linda Doyle and Jane Ohlmeyer, making it the first time a woman was provost since the founding of the college.[9]
