Anthony Petro

Associate Professor of Religion and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

As a first gen undergrad myself, I hope to help other students navigate life at the university. I am also interested in learning from students what it’s like to be first gen now and at BU in particular.

  • Hometown: Dahlonega, GA
  • Languages Spoken: English, Spanish

  • Personal Facts/ Hobbies/ Interests: I’m a faculty-in-residence at Kilachand, so you might see me around campus more than some other professors, especially if you frequent Marciano. I enjoy yoga, cycling, and most Hitchcock films. I spend a lot of time in Pittsburgh, too, where my partner lives with our two whippets, Shelby and Truvy.
