Manuela Casti Yeagley is a Senior Research Associate with the Wellbeing

at Work team in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of

Notre Dame. Manuela received both her Master’s and PhD from King’s

She is also particularly interested in ecumenical spirituality, and

recently completed a research project on the Taize’ Community.

Before joining the Wellbeing at Work team Manuela was involved for

almost two decades in ministerial education, as faculty member of three

different theological seminaries in Italy, France, and the United

Kingdom. In this capacity, she also led the European Valuegenesis

Survey, an international project aimed to study youth faith development

within the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Manuela is married to Steve, who is Assistant Vice President for Student

Life at Andrews University.  They have a little Havanese dog, Chico, and

they greatly enjoy travelling and discovering new cultures. Both Manuela

and Steve are passionate cinephiles, and they love to explore the

intersection between faith and culture, particularly through music,

movies, and art.
