We catch 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 theology at Azusa Pacific University. She also is an ordained elder in the PCUSA. She chats with us about how a young woman from TX follows a path to an M.Div. in NC, 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 Univ. Press.
