The Forum Featuring Eboni Marshall Turman
THE FORUM
FEATURING REV. EBONI MARSHALL TURMAN, PH.D
MAY 19 , 2021 | 6PM | VIRTUAL EVENT
The Forum is a conversation and speaker series that connects the humanities to our civic enterprise.
A groundbreaking thinker and highly sought after speaker, Dr. Turman is assistant professor of theology and African American religion at Yale University Divinity School. A first-career concert dancer and the youngest ordained minister at the historic Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York, her research interests span the varieties of 20th century US theological liberalisms, most especially Black and womanist theology, and the connection between theology and art. She formerly served as Director of Black Church Studies at Duke University. Dr. Turman holds degrees in philosophy, theology, and Christian ethics from Fordham University and Union Theological Seminary.
Connect. Consider. Ignite. The Forum has a three-part structure: during the first third of the event audience members will connect in small groups prompted by a question; the middle third is a discussion with our guest speaker ending with a question posed to the audience for consideration; the final third is a facilitated conversation with the audience discussing the question and igniting ideas.
