Professor Ridgely is an associate professor in the Religious Studies program at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Her research is motivated by her desire to explore religion through the eyes and experiences of children, with the goal of helping students and scholars find ways to engage in research with children rather than on children. Ridgely teaches courses on sects and cults, children and religion, Catholicism, African American religions, and religion and politics. She has published books about Focus on the Family, her methodology for the study of children in religions, and children’s interpretation of the first communion.
