Wonhee Anne Joh is an author, theologian, professor, and lecturer with a focus on the disciplines of religion, women's equality, and Asian American Studies.[1]
Joh is a Professor of Theology and Culture at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. Joh serves as an affiliate faculty in the Department of Religious Studies and the Asian American Studies Program, and she is a faculty member in the Religion and Global Politics Group (Buffett Institute) at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Describing her teaching philosophy, Joh stated, "As a teacher, I believe that transformative praxis begins with each of us in our everyday lives. Theological reflection is crucial because the meaning of our lives is often understood through the prism of religious experience. Therefore, theological reflection must be bold and imaginative as well as grounded in the material reality of the history of peoples' lives."[2]
