Lisa Asedillo is an ethicist, theologian, and ritualist whose work bridges decolonial feminist theory, transpacific/Asian/American Christian ethics, and Filipinx liberative theological/spiritual traditions. She serves as an assistant professor at the Pacific School of Religion, where she directs the Asian Pacific Islander (API) Initiative and the PANA Oral Narratives Project. She holds the inaugural Stanley Watson Chair in Ethics for 2026–27. Her current research explores imperial sacraments and ancestral memory from the Philippine theology of struggle and ecumenical women’s movements (1970s–1990s), grounding moral reflection in Global South histories and strategies of resistance to cultivate liberative pedagogies. Her ethics method centers oral histories and other nontraditional archives, connecting them to broader movements for decolonization, racial justice, and feminist and queer liberation.
