Join HDS for an online panel discussion with the Yang Visiting Scholars in World Christianity at Harvard Divinity School
The Yang Visiting Scholars in World Christianity Program brings distinguished senior and junior scholars of world Christianity to Harvard Divinity School each year, opening up fresh perspectives, particularly from the global south. This is our second year of having Yang Visiting Scholars at HDS and the cohort for the third year in 2023-24 has been selected and those scholars will also be in attendance.
This is an online panel discussion under the leadership of Professor Francis X. Clooney, S.J., Parkman Professor of Divinity, Professor of Comparative Theology at the Harvard Divinity School. Professor Clooney will lead a conversation with this year’s Yang Visiting Scholars, Dr. Heather Mellquist Lehto, and Dr. Ashok Kumar Mocherla. This conversation intends show us how perspectives on the global scene might confirm, yet also challenge, how we think about Christianity and the study of Christianity here in the United States. The Yang Scholars of 2022-23 (Drs. Adesina and Mallampalli), as well as our incoming Yang Scholars for 2023-24 (Drs. Nathanael Homewood, Thomas Santa Maria, and Gina Zurlo) will also join in the conversation. We hope that you will be able to join us and bring your own perspectives and questions to this fruitful and engaging panel discussion on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.”
