<\/b><\/span>Lecture:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cA Vision of a Stare: \u00a0Prophetic Leadership in A Voyeuristic Age\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
About the speaker: Dr. Jonathan L. Walton<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Social ethicist and scholar of American religions Jonathan L. Walton is the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals at Harvard University and Pusey Minister in Harvard\u2019s Memorial Church. He is also a professor of religion and society on the faculty of divinity.<\/span><\/div>\n
Professor Walton\u2019s research addresses the intersections of religion, politics and media culture. He has published widely in scholarly journals such as\u00a0Religion and American Culture: A Journal of Interpretation\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal<\/a> Studies<\/i>. His book\u00a0Watch This! The Ethics and Aesthetics of Black Televangelism\u00a0<\/i>(NYU Press, 2009)<\/a> disrupts commonly held assumptions that associate evangelical broadcasting with white, conservative evangelical communities, while illumining the ways televangelists\u2019 professed aims are frustrated by their hyper-\u00ad\u2010mediated methods.<\/span><\/div>\n
Professor Walton\u2019s work and insights have been featured in several national and international news outlets including the\u00a0New York Times<\/i>, CNN and the BBC. He is also the \u201cresident ethicist\u201d on the Tavis Smiley radio show.<\/span><\/div>\n
Currently he is working on a book-\u00ad\u2010length study of famed televangelist Carlton Pearson tentatively entitled\u00a0Pentecostalism Made Pretty<\/i>.\u00a0 \u00a0The book explores questions of power, privilege and race in the context of late 20th \u00a0and early 21st\u00a0century neo-\u00ad\u2010Pentecostalism. He is also completing a volume on African-\u00ad\u2010American religious history with Eddie S. Glaude (Princeton University),\u00a0American Religion in<\/i>\u00a0Black and Blue.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Walton earned his Ph.D. and master of divinity degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. And the Atlanta native graduated from Morehouse College with a B.A. in political science. Walton was an assistant professor of religious studies at the University of California, Riverside prior to joining the faculty of Harvard Divinity School.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
