Liz Burkemper serves as program coordinator for the Life Worth Living Program at the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. Liz grew up on a rural Missouri farm but has devoted her recent years to learning on the east coast, receiving a B.A. in Peace Studies and Sustainability from the George Washington University in 2020 and an M.A.R. in Religion and Ecology from Yale Divinity School in 2022. Prior to joining YCFC, she worked as a research assistant at the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. To the Center she brings her love of Thomas Merton, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Ross Gay, as well as her interest in cultivating attentiveness and responsiveness to multispecies entanglements in everyday life. When she’s not at YCFC, Liz loves exchanging snail mail, taking long walks, hiking, playing tennis, and doing farm work at her family’s home in Missouri.
