Host Rev. Todd Maberry catches up with alumna Dr. Jessica Wai-Fong Wong, who earned her M.Div. and Ph.D. from Duke. Dr. Wong serves as Assistant Professor of systematic theology at Azusa Pacific University in Southern California. She also is an ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Dr. Wong probes deep questions of race, image, and identity in her scholarship. She chats with us about how a young woman from Texas follows a path to an M.Div. in North Carolina, how to pursue a doctoral degree, and if there is more to Californian cuisine than the avocado. Dr. Wong’s book, Disordered: The Holy Icon and Racial Myths is forthcoming in fall 2021 from Baylor University Press.
