Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse

Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph. D., is the founder of the Ruth Institute, an interfaith international coalition to defend the family and build a Civilization of Love. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Rochester and taught economics at Yale and George Mason Universities for 15 years. Dr. Morse and her husband are parents of an adopted child and a birth child, and were foster parents to eight foster children. Dr. Morse founded the Ruth Institute in August 2008, initially focusing on motherhood. However, Proposition 8 redirected her studies into marriage and family issues. After the Supreme Court overturned Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, she began addressing the whole range of marriage and family issues comprehensively. The Ruth Institute systematically catalogues the harms of the Sexual Revolution and gives voice to its victims. She has authored six books and spoken around the globe. Her work has been translated into multiple languages including Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Polish and Chuukese.
