Faculty Book Event: The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines

During our November 2024 faculty book event, Professor of the History of Christianity Rady Roldán-Figueroa and Fr. David Orique, OP of Providence College discussed their new co-edited book The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500 – c. 1850). The book is the first of its kind to be published in English yet focused on the Dominican Order (Order of Preachers) in Latin America. In this clip, Rady and David cite how this publication heavily relied on female scholastic contributions, including the influence of their co-editor Sr. Cynthia Folquer, OP, who represents a growing circle of Latin American womanist theologians.
