About the Speaker

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 College, London. Her research area is Practical Theology, with a specific focus on congregational studies, missiology and youth ministry. 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.
