Biography

Melissa Schubert serves as the Dean of Biola University's School of Humanities and Social Sciences, with a deep commitment to the future of biblically-centered, transformational Christian liberal arts education. She taught for sixteen years in Torrey Honors College, teaching across its interdisciplinary curriculum, mentoring its dear students and gifted faculty, and serving as its Associate Director. Her research primarily investigates the dynamics of literature and theology in early modern English literature, and her interests range across genres, centuries, and practices that enrich the Christian life and imagination.
