A Distinguished Professor of Theology at the university and former president of the Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology at the Catholic Institute of Sydney, Sr Naumann has taught and lectured in Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.
Throughout her distinguished career, Sr Naumann has contributed extensively to theological scholarship and served on numerous national and international academic and Church bodies, including two terms on the Pontifical Council for Culture.
The International Theological Commission helps the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith by examining doctrinal questions of major importance and contributing to theological reflection on issues facing the universal Church.
