The Importance of African-American Literature (Claudia M. Allen)

Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week we are talking with Claudia M. Allen, Online Content Manager for Message Magazine. She is a teacher, preacher, and writer on race, anti-racism, and biblical social justice with over 6 years of professional training in the studies of African-American Literature at both the Masters and Doctoral level. She is passionate about the inclusion of African-American studies within institutions of learning. After having her own experience with various English departments she realized how deficient many programs were in including African-American literature. So today, we’re discussing how exposure to different cultural lenses and sociological perspectives can begin having a positive impact on helping people to identify racism and growing personal exposure to wider worldviews. We want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible.
