Shawnee M. Daniels-Sykes, RN., Ph.D., professor of theology at Mount Mary University, will speak from the perspective of medicine and theology. In particular, she will discuss the impact of COVID-19 upon communities of color and some of the implications of that for our social and political structures.

Teresia Hinga, Ph.D., associate professor of religious studies at Santa Clara University, will discuss how we might think theologically about the virus in the global context. A Kenyan, she brings an African perspective to the topic and will also discuss implications of the virus disproportionately impacting communities of color, especially in the United States.

The endowed Flannery Chair of Roman Catholic Theology is made possible through a gift of the late Maud and Milo Flannery of Spokane to further the excellence of theological study and teaching at Gonzaga. Gonzaga invites an outstanding theologian to deliver the Flannery Lecture.
