Oh, you gon want to listen in on this! The great Dr. Turman is on this week to talk on life, theology, Blackness, and even the Black body. Dang skippy...this is fire!\n\n\n\nThe Reverend Eboni Marshall Turman, Ph.D. is the assistant professor of theology and African American religion at Yale University Divinity School in New Haven, CT. A first-career concert dancer and ordained National Baptist preacher, her research interests span the varieties of 20th century US theological liberalisms, most especially Black and womanist theological, social ethical, and theo-aesthetic traditions.\n\nAn author, minister, professor, and public theologian, the Reverend Dr. Turman is a refreshing addition to our most pressing national discussions of faith, race and gender. With a decidedly womanist point of view, hers stands out as one of very few scholarly millennial voices offering moral perspective on issues facing the Black community.\n\nAt a time in our history when the Black church and Black lives are once again under constant siege, Dr. Turman has committed her research, scholarship and platform to a nuanced exploration of the most marginalized among us.\n\nA trailblazer in the church and academy, her pioneering spirit has earned her many rare distinctions. She is the youngest woman to be named Assistant Minister of the historic Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City (2002-2012), and the second woman to preside over the ordinances in its 210-year history. She formerly served as Director of Black Church Studies at Duke University Divinity School (2013-2016).\n\nShe is the only womanist theological ethicist on faculty at Yale Divinity School and the recipient of the 2018 Inspiring Yale award; a 2017-18 Yale Public Voices fellow; one of Ebony Magazine\u2019s Young Faith Leaders in the Black Community; included on the Network Journal\u2019s prestigious 40 Under 40 List; named as one of the \u201cTop 5 Young Preachers in America\u201d by ROHO; and Auburn Theological Seminary\u2019s 2017 \u201cLives of Commitment\u201d honoree.
