Program Director
Jennifer Leigh Selig, Ph.D. joined Pacifica's faculty in 2005, and has served as Chair and Research Coordinator for the Depth Psychology program before moving into her role as Academic Director of Hybrid Programs where she oversees the two current hybrid specializations, the M.A./Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies, and the M.A. in Engaged Humanities & the Creative Life with emphasis in Depth Psychology. Her books include Thinking Outside the Church: 110 Ways to Connect With Your Spiritual Nature and Reimagining Education: Essays on Retrieving the Soul of Learning which she co-edited with Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery, a Mythological Studies professor at Pacifica. Additionally, she has written several award-winning screenplays, and enjoys photography.
"One privilege of directing this program is that I'm surrounded by students and faculty who honor creativity in all of its many manifestations, and who understand that the creative impulse is the primal force in the universe--indeed there would be no field called "the humanities" without it. What's more, we know we are constantly co-creating with the anima mundi, the soul of the world. Depth psychology gives us valuable insight into the generative process, and deepens our relationship with the dynamic psyche, the source of all acts of creativity." - Dr. Jennifer Leigh Selig, teacher, writer, photographer
