From 2001-2003 Ansell was assistant professor in theology at The King'sUniversity College in Edmonton, Alberta.

He is also interested in examining the relationship between faith and belief in critical dialogue with proponents and critics of contemporary feminism, postmodernism and religious pluralism. Nik is the author of The Woman Will Overcome The Warrior: A Dialogue with the Christian/Feminist Theology of Rosemary Radford Ruether (University Press of America, 1994) and is currently working on a book on Jürgen Moltmann's view of Hell.
