Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse

Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D. brings a unique voice to discussions of love, marriage, sexuality and the family. Born into a Catholic working class family, Dr. Morse earned a doctorate in economics during her twelve year lapse from the faith. A committed career woman before having children, she taught economics for fifteen years at Yale University and George Mason University .  The devastating experience of infertility brought her to her knees and back to the practice of the Catholic faith. In 1991, she and her husband adopted a two year old Romanian boy, and gave birth to a baby girl. She left her full-time university teaching post in 1996 to move with her family to California . She is now a part-time Research Fellow at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty .

Dr. Morse was one of the few American speakers at the Fifth World Meeting of Families, sponsored by the Pontifical Council on the Family in Valencia , Spain in July 2006. She is a regular columnist in National Catholic Register and writes and speaks about love, marriage, sexuality and the family, as well as economics. In addition to caring for their own two kids, Dr. Morse and her husband were until recently, foster parents for San Diego County .  Her widely acclaimed presentations combine high quality information from the social sciences, the riches of traditional Catholic teaching and her own personal faith journey.
