RU99: DR RICHARD NEWTON ON AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY, RELIGION, CULTURE, EDUCATION
Richard Newton is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. He received his PhD in Critical Comparative Scriptures from Claremont Graduate University. Dr. Newton’s areas of interest include theory and method in the study of religion, African American history, the New Testament in Western imagination, American cultural politics, and pedagogy in religious studies. His research explores how people create “scriptures” and how those productions operate in the formation of identities and cultural boundaries. In addition to an array of book chapters and online essays, Dr. Newton has published in the Journal of Biblical Literature, Method & Theory in the Study of Religion, Religion Compass, and Religion & Theology to name a few. He is a member of the international scholarly working group, Culture on the Edge. His new book, Identifying Roots: Alex Haley and the Anthropology of Scriptures, published by Equinox in the Culture on the Edge book series, casts Alex Haley’s Roots as a case study in the dynamics of scriptures and identity politics with critical implications for the study of race, religion, and media. You can learn more about his research and pedagogy at his social media professional development site, Sowing the Seed: Fruitful Conversations in Religion, Culture, and Teaching.

Irene Strasser is a developmental psychologist. She joined The American University in Cairo in 2019. Before coming to AUC, she held positions at The American University of Paris and the University of Klagenfurt in Austria. Her research focuses on lifespan development with an emphasis on age and aging, in particular on concepts and images of aging. Her work is informed by critical perspectives in gerontology, the development of wisdom in the context of biographical experiences, and gender studies. Her aim is to explore equal rights issues in the context of aging as well as the possibilities of older people to participate in societal activities, regardless of gender, class and ethnicity. Professor Strasser understands teaching and learning as a holistic process that builds connections between theory and practice and creates space to try out new approaches and question existing knowledge. She is well-experienced with research-oriented teaching and invites her students to gain hands-on experience in order to develop a critical view on study design and ethical questions. https://www.aucegypt.edu/fac/irenestrasser
