J. Michelle Molina is an Associate Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Northwestern University, specializing in the Society of Jesus and the early modern period. She explores Jesuit spirituality and the efforts to understand how individuals, both elites and commoners, approached and experienced religious transformation. Her book, 'Overcome Oneself: Jesuit Ethic Spirit Global Expansion', published by the University of California Press in 2013, examines the impact of the Jesuit program of radical self-reflexivity on the formation of early modern selves in Europe and New Spain. Molina's scholarly work has also turned toward the period of contraction in Catholic missionary activity, particularly focusing on the expulsion of Jesuits from Mexico in 1767. Additionally, she teaches graduate seminars and undergraduate courses related to religious studies, migration, and the intersection of race and religion in Latin America. She has published numerous articles and co-edited works that contribute to the understanding of Jesuit historical narrative and spirituality.
