Leadership Development of Asian/American Women in Theological and Religious Studies
Proposal abstract :
We are a group of seven Asian/American women faculty: two senior facilitators and five early career participants. Each of the early career participants is the only early career Asian/American woman faculty in their institutions and/or departments. This intergenerational cluster aims to provide “conversation spaces, support, and networking” with a structured and systematic mentoring program. All of the participants also are active members of the Pacific, Asian, and North American Asian Women in Theology and Ministry (PANAAWTM). PANAAWTM has been the most significant space for Asian/American feminist theological scholarship and leadership development in the last almost forty years. The current leadership is exercised by the “2nd” generation since the founding mothers are now being rotated off. Thus, this cluster will also aim at fostering the future leadership of PANAAWTM while intentionally focusing on intergenerational mentoring between Asian/feminist theological and religious studies scholars.
