Porsia Tunzi, PhD, is a professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Saint Mary’s College of California. As a sociologist of religion, she explores how people live out their faith in everyday life, with a current research focus on Christian women’s presence and influence on social media. With over 12 years of teaching experience, Porsia fosters inclusive, dialogue-rich learning environments, inspired by the pedagogical vision of activist scholar bell hooks—where personal experience, vulnerability, and embodiment are welcomed and encouraged.

Beyond academia, Porsia is an avid crocheter, hiker, and swing dancer who delights in life’s variety—believing fully in the beauty of containing multitudes. She lives in Novato with her husband and their delightful cat, Juniper.
