Danielle Elizabeth Tumminio Hansen (born 1981) is a writer, intellectual, practical theologian, and Episcopal priest whose expertise is in the intersection of spirituality and cultural life. She has taught courses at Yale University, Tufts University, the University of New Haven, and Central Connecticut State University. She is currently a professor in the areas of practical and pastoral theology at Emory University. She was born in Manhattan. Research on surrogacy, reproductive loss, infertility, and family Tumminio Hansen published the first comprehensive practical theology of infertility, reproductive loss, and surrogacy in 2019. Conceiving Family is an interdisciplinary study that utilizes ethnographic, feminist, womanist, philosophical and practical theological sources to argue for a vision of family defined by relationships and not biology. Tumminio Hansen proposes that surrogacy should be a mutual decision made between surrogate and intended family that supports the identity construction of each party and any resulting children. The conclusion of that book expands this model of reproductive surrogacy to non-reproductive realms in which individuals function as surrogates (proxies) for one another. Research on sexual violations Tumminio Hansen believes that the terms most commonly used for sexual violations—including “rape” and “sexual assault”—fail to represent the scope of sexual harm, especially among marginalized populations and when harm fails to represent rape scripts and stereotypes. She proposes in “Absent a Word” that the linguistic gaps in matters of sexual violations instantiate concrete harm to victims. In “Remembering Rape in Heaven,” Tumminio Hansen argues against Miroslav Volf’s proposal that trauma must be forgotten in the eschaton. She suggests that such a proposal raises serious concerns concerning victim epistemic credibility, divine beneficence, and the purpose of remembering the biblical corpus. Harkening to the work of Marilyn McCord Adams, Tumminio Hansen concludes that it is possible to hold an eschatological vision that preserves victim memory. Christianity and Harry Potter Tumminio Hansen is the author of God and Harry Potter at Yale: Teaching Faith and Fantasy Fiction in an Ivy League Classroom and was the instructor of the "Christian Theology and Harry Potter" seminar at Yale University from the spring of 2008 until 2013. She also repeated the course several times at Tufts University. Tumminio Hansen has also presented material on the intersection between theology and the Harry Potter series at the Infinitus Symposium in Orlando, Florida in 2010, the Portus Symposium in Dallas, Texas, in the summer of 2008, and she chaired the panel on Harry
