Welcome to the Common Questions, an exciting initiative brought to you by the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion. In this series, we bring together some of the most esteemed scholars and educators in the field to engage with a central, thought-provoking question. The goal is to challenge and inspire. By exploring these questions, we hope to create a dynamic platform for scholarly dialogue, illuminate complexities in education, and enhance our understanding of the transformative power of teaching and learning in these vital disciplines. Featuring a diverse range of perspectives, this effort is a means of expanding the borders of academic rigor with profound spiritual and philosophical inquiry. This time, we asked… “Where is the most foreign place you have visited? How might this experience with foreignness inform/influence your teaching?”Gathered here are responses from:Eric C. Smith, Iliff School of TheologyKatherine Turpin, Iliff School of TheologySharon Higginbothan, Chatham UniversityShatavia Wynn, Rhodes CollegeYii-Jan Lin, Yale Divinity School If you are interested in sharing you response to this prompt or future Common Questions, please reach out to our blogs editor, Donald E.
