Publication Description
While the first volume in the Theological Education ¡Latinamente! Series lays the theoretical and historical groundwork for reconceptualizing Latinidad within the context of theological education, this second volume explores how one towering figure—the Rev. Dr. Daisy L. Machado—pursued scholarly, pedagogical, and administrative innovations within this sector. After years as a social worker, minister, and public school teacher, Daisy L. Machado entered theological education with a unique vantage point and acumen for innovation. As a scholar her work on borderlands weaved church history, borderland studies, theology, and ethics to generate new understandings not only of the U.S.-Mexico Border but of constructions of power and the nation itself. As a teacher her centering of communities of color and embrace of immersive teaching led her to innovative pedagogical institutions at multiple institutions. As an administrator who served as Dean of two institutions as well as founding Director of the Hispanic Theological Initiative and Executive Director of the Hispanic Scholars Program, she has put vision to action and grown the organization always with an eye toward community care. Pushing against the traditional festschrift model, the essays in this volume critically explore how Machado innovated in theological education and what lessons it yields for the next generation of theological leaders.
