2026 Summer Session Readings Recap

September 14, 2026

Our Summer Session program brings together leading faculty at the intersection of Latine/Hispanic Studies and Theology to teach students from across theological institutions. Through these courses, students engage with diverse theological perspectives, scholarly traditions, and lived experiences that shape Latine/Hispanic communities and theological education. To complement the Summer Session experience, we have curated a reading list featuring works authored by the 2026 Summer Session faculty members. We invite students, faculty, and others to explore these readings as an opportunity for continued learning.
