She is a graduate of Bethel College in St. Paul, MN (B.A., 1977). Dr. Curry did her graduate work in geography at the University of Minnesota (M.A., 1981; Ph.D., 1985) and taught at Central College before joining the Calvin faculty in 1996. Her interests range from natural resource management to the geography of the U.S. and Canada.
Formerly an anabaptist, in neocalvinism Janel Curry has found an intellectual framework that allows her to negotiate between the pitfalls of both Enlightenment modernism and postmodernism, and find a cohesive solution to the problems posed by both in her discipline. But . . . while positioning herself as a scholar operating from the neocalvinist tradition, Curry offers a warning and issues a challenge to 21st-century neocalvinists.
