Almeda M. Wright is Assistant Professor of Religious Education at Yale Divinity School. Her research focuses on African American religion, adolescent spiritual development, and the interesections of religion and public life.
We discuss Wrights' latest book entitled, Teaching to Live: Black Religion, Activist Educators and Radical Social Change. The book profiles eight distinguished African American teachers and the ways each made a unique contribution as social change agents through their teaching. This is a must-read for early career scholars, colleagues interested in the power of teaching, and those who want an exceptional example of scholarship through ethnographic methodology.
