Meet RCWMS Intern Rachel Sauls

February 24, 2020 by Jeanette Stokes Leave a Comment

Meet RCWMS Intern Rachel Sauls

Rachel Sauls is the spring 2020 Anita McLeod Intern at RCWMS. She grew up in Durham, but has always been a Tar Heel, and is currently a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill. Rachel is majoring in English and Comparative Literature with a double minor in Jewish Studies and Hispanic Studies. Her concentration within her major is Science, Medicine, and Literature. Rachel loves exploring ways in which theological narratives around gender and health shape individual and communal experiences. While interning at the Resource Center, her project will be focused on women’s intergenerational friendships. She is also helping Amy Dosser with the next phase of the Meinrad Craighead project and helping out in the office in a variety of ways.

When she isn’t at the Resource Center, you can find Rachel finishing up her UNC coursework, working with young people at Emmaus Way, and giving on-campus tours as a UNC Admissions Ambassador. Rachel also enjoys reading memoirs, laughing with her friends, sipping on iced almond milk lattes at local coffee shops, and spending time with animals. In her free time, she walks up to strangers on UNC’s campus and asks, “May I please pet your dog?”

Rachel will begin a Master of Divinity program in August. She is not sure what life will look like after that, but she is interested in hospital chaplaincy, nonprofit work, and eventually pursuing a PhD. Rachel says she is grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow in the RCWMS community this semester, and we are so happy to have her with us.

About Jeanette Stokes

The day Jeanette graduated from Duke Divinity School in 1977, she turned to some friends and said, “They’ll be sorry.” With only had an inkling of what she would do next, she felt sure it would have something to do with women, faith, and social justice. A few months later, she and friends founded the Resource Center for Women and Ministry in the South, where she serves as the Executive Director. Not sure whether anyone was ever sorry they granted Jeanette and M.Div., she is sure that the last four decades of trying to change the landscape of religion in American has had at least some marginal effect. Mostly her work has offered solace and support to others on the journey. A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma and a graduate of Smith College, Jeanette is the author of three collections of essays, 25 Years in the Garden, 35 Years on the Path, and Just Keep Going, and three memoirs, Hurricane Season: Living Through a Broken Heart, Flying Over Home, and Following a Female Line. She is happier if she spends some time each week walking, writing, painting, and messing around in the garden.
