SUMMARY:2026 Susan Draper White Lecture with Dr. Ellen T. Armour
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, February 23\, 2026\, for our next Susan Draper White Lecture\, when we will welcome Dr. Ellen T. Armour as our presenter! Dr. Armour’s presentation is titled “Seeing Gender Otherwise: Theology as Visual Practice.” Festivities will begin with a reception at 5:45 PM for onsite attendees. Available onsite and online\, the lecture will commence at 6:30 PM CT. \nAmong the many issues dividing Americans these days is the conflict over how we should understand\, see\, and treat people whose gender identities break with norms. This is a conflict where religion\, gender\, and politics come together—familiar terrain for feminist theologians of all types. Central to this conflict is how we see gender (understood intersectionally\, of course). Armour draws on insights central to her two most recent books\, Signs and Wonders: Theology After Modernity (Columbia University Press\, 2016)\, and Seeing and Believing: Religion\, Digital Visual Culture\, and Social Justice (Columbia University Press\, 2023)\, as well as her long critical and constructive engagement with feminist and queer theology to diagnose and address this conflict.  \nArmour is Professor and E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Chair of Feminist Theology at Vanderbilt Divinity School. Her research and teaching interests include theologies and theories of gender\, race\, sexuality\, disability and visual culture as well as continental philosophy. She is the author of numerous articles and three books\, and she is also the co-editor of Bodily Citations: Religion and Judith Butler (Columbia University Press\, 2006). She has served as the Director of the Carpenter Program in Religion\, Gender\, and Sexuality since 2007. \nPublications\nHer research interests include feminist theology\, contemporary continental philosophy\, and theories of sexuality\, race\, gender\, disability\, and embodiment. In addition to numerous articles and book chapters\, she is the author of several publications: \n\nSeeing and Believing: Religion\, Digital Visual Culture\, and the Struggle for Social Justice (Columbia University Press\, 2023)\nSigns and Wonders: Theology After Modernity (Columbia University Press\, 2016)\nDeconstruction\, Feminist Theology\, and the Problem of Difference: Subverting the Race/Gender Divide (Chicago: University of Chicago Press\, 1999)\n\nShe was co-editor of Bodily Citations: Judith Butler and Religion (Columbia University Press\, 2006). \nDr. Armour received her BA in Humanities from Stetson University and her MA and PhD from Vanderbilt University. \nTeaching \nShe began her teaching career at Rhodes College in Memphis in 1991. While at Rhodes\, she served as chair of the religious studies department and of several major faculty committees. She was honored to receive the Clarence Day Dean’s Award for Outstanding Teaching (1999) and the Jameson Jones Award for Faculty Service (2005). She joined the Vanderbilt faculty in the fall of 2006 and became the Director of the Carpenter Program in Religion\, Gender\, and Sexuality in 2007.

SUMMARY:Susan Draper White Lecture: “Battle for the Minds\, Revisited” with Rev. Molly T. Marshall\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:United is very pleased to announce that our 34th annual Susan Draper White Lecture will take place on February 24\, 2025\, and feature Rev. Molly T. Marshall\, PhD\, United’s esteemed and beloved president. President Marshall’s lecture is titled “Battle for the Minds\, Revisited.” \nThirty years ago\, writer and producer Steve Lipscomb created his first documentary\, Battle for the Minds\, about the Southern Baptist Convention’s conservative shift and how that was affecting women pastors. Prominently featured in the film was a progressive\, feminist professor of Christian theology\, and experienced pastor\, at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville\, Kentucky: Dr. Molly T. Marshall.  \nThis year’s lecture will feature Rev. Dr. Marshall’s reflections on that pivotal episode in her professional and theological life and how the experience shaped the theologian and leader she has become\, as United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities’ president. The evening will include a screening of the documentary along with Rev. Dr. Marshall’s remarks and reflections. \nDr. Marshall writes: \nIf you attend the Susan Draper White Lecture\, you will witness a story of resilience. The documentary chronicles what happens to a woman who challenges the power structures that deem women unfit to exercise spiritual leadership. Although filmed nearly 30 years ago\, it remains a cautionary tale about the crushing power of patriarchy—all too resilient itself as recent days attest. Indeed\, misogyny is hurtling forward. \nIt is not just my story\, but the story of countless women whom the Church has silenced\, marginalized\, and castigated. While there have been many breakthroughs for women in ecclesiastical circles\, contempt and abuse stalk their presence\, claiming their leadership to be invalid and contrary to theological tradition. \nOn the larger social landscape of politics\, law\, commerce\, and education\, the pernicious oppression of women—especially women of color—continues. Naming this reality and concrete resistance remains urgent. \nIt will be an evening of reflection and thoughtful conversation about what is at stake when patriarchy prevails. \nThis special event will begin at 7:00 PM and conclude by 9:15 PM. It will take place on United’s campus and will be available via live streaming. To learn more\, please contact Jen Buck (jbuck@unitedseminary.edu). \nREGISTRATION
