Political Theory Expert Joins Faculty
Krall to Serve as 2011-12 Resident Scholar
The Institute is pleased to announced the addition of Georgetown's Lorraine E. Krall to the faculty as a resident scholar. In addition to continuing her research, Ms. Krall will help teach and mentor the John Jay Fellows.
Ms. Krall’s research and scholarship are directed to understanding the conception of women’s freedom in the political thought of Alexis de Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, and Hannah Arendt, with particular attention to exploring the dangers of abstracting the liberal ideal of freedom from nature and custom. Ms. Krall also has research interests in the intersection of religion and politics, as well as in the relationship between politics and literature (especially poetry).
She has been awarded several academic fellowships for her scholarship, including the Hooper, Weaver and Earhart Fellowships, and was a Tocqueville Forum Graduate Fellow as well as a Witherspoon Fellow. Her reviews have been published in the Journal of Church and State. Ms. Krall graduated (summa cum laude) from Grove City College with a bachelor’s degree in political science and English. She has studied at Baylor University’s Institute for Church-State Studies and is a doctoral candidate in government at the Georgetown University. A native of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Ms. Krall resides in the Philadelphia suburb of Bala-Cynwyd, PA.
