Faculty | Life Worth Living | Yale Center for Faith & Culture

Yale Teaching Team

Ever since the first seminar at Yale, Life Worth Living has been a team effort. More than two dozen educators have taught a Yale Life Worth Living class over the years. Some of them have been staff at the Yale Center for Faith & Culture or elsewhere at Yale. Others have been Yale doctoral students. All of them have been devoted to equipping students for the lifelong process of discerning the shape of lives worthy of our shared humanity. Below are the profiles of current Life Worth Living faculty at Yale.
