BUSTH Hosts Spring 2025 Bi-Annual Lowell Lecture
On March 25, 2025, the Boston University School of Theology with the generous support of the Lowell Institute was proud to sponsor the bi-annual Lowell Lecture in the Moore Community Center at 745 Commonwealth Avenue. Dr. Marcia Riggs, womanist theology and professor emerita at Columbia Theological Seminary, delivered her lecture titled “Womanist Moral Imagination for Living in an Absolutist Culture.” The lecture explored how womanist moral imagination can help answer the question “How do we facilitate authentic moral community?”
Dr. Riggs was introduced by emilie m. townes, Professor of Religion and Black Studies, and respondents to the lecture were Assistant Professor of Religion and Society Luther Young, Jr. and PhD candidate La Ronda Barnes.
