Raising Asian Voices in Interreligious Dialogue

Please join us for a talk about the importance of promoting inclusivity and diversity in interreligious dialogue and studies. The panelists will discuss the necessity to raise and embrace Asian perspectives in meaningful dialogue that fosters understanding and respect.

 

 

Dr. Martin Nguyen’s work revolves around Muslim theology, ethics, spirituality, Qur’anic studies, and the intersection of race and religion. His current research focuses on theological responses to global mass displacement and modern structural racism. He is the author of Modern Muslim Theology: Engaging God and the World with Faith and Imagination (Rowman & Little Field, 2019), which presents a contemporary theology rooted in the religious imagination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Joanne Jaruko Doi, MM, was born in Los Angeles, CA, and is one of five children. During World War II, her father and grandfather were sent to the Manzanar Relocation Camp, where the St. Francis Xavier (Maryknoll) parish community served all the Japanese who were interned. After the war, the Maryknoll parish and grade-school community was restored in Los Angeles, where Jaruko was nurtured in faith, education, and culture. Among her publications is “Japanese American Journeys of Remembrance, Identity and Solidarity,” in the T & T Clark Handbook to Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics (T&T Clark, 2019).
