Coming to Tyndale University College in 1976 (then, Ontario Bible College), Professor Elizabeth Davey became the instructor of a seminal English department. Over the years she introduced a variety of courses - Milton, Studies in C.S. Lewis, Canadian Literature and Culture, Key Figures in American Literature, Religious Themes in Literature - that anticipated the larger literature curriculum of a Christian liberal arts university. Her interest in gender issues was also formative in the development of Women and Men: Religion and Gender, a course taking an interdisciplinary approach to the study of gender issues in modern Christianity.

In 1998, Elizabeth was appointed both Director of the Leading Edge program and the Department Chair of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department. From 2000 to 2004, she served the University College as Associate Dean.

Currently she is doing doctoral work on the Christian Canadian poet Margaret Avison.

Elizabeth is also a professional musician, organist and pianist, performing with the Kara Piano Trio.

Elizabeth is married to Alan Davey, senior minister of Weston Park Baptist Church and Adjunct Professor of Christian Worship and Spirituality. They have two married daughters.
