Professor Kirkpatrick holds the Chair in Old Testament Studies. She has spent the past 36 years teaching both in the academy and the Anglican Church here in Montreal and abroad. She has contributed to the educational formation of those pursuing academic careers in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and those entering the ordained ministry of the Christian Church. She has pursued her research and teaching interests with an eye on both the academy and the ecclesial communities as she was asked to serve on a number of national and international theological commissions. Her interdisciplinary interests extend to feminist and gender studies where as chair of the Women鈥檚 Studies Program, and Chair of the Board of the M.C.R.T.W. at 91社区, she was instrumental in creating and maintaining several administrative programs in the area. She has served as Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. She has also spent a number of years as a member of the Quebec Provincial Education Ministry Committee on Religious Education in the schools for the province of Quebec.
As a founding member of the Ancient Historiography Seminar of the CSBS her present interests and research in historiography follow immediately as a consequence to her initial research on the influence folklore studies had on reconstructing the history of Ancient Israel.
