the possibilities with us
From our council of griots, consultations, scholar’s in residence, the opportunities to partner with us are endless.
BRSG Consultations
- BRSG fosters dialogue and collaboration among Black scholars, clergy, and activists to promote social justice and transformative debates across academia, churches, and communities
- They offer ongoing consultations to churches, universities, community organizations, and corporations to bridge gaps between scholarship and society.
- The annual BRSG consultation brings together religious leaders, scholars, and activists to engage the public, focusing on recovering historical resources to address present and future challenges.
Scholars in Residence
- The BRSG Scholar-in-Residence partnership with Seminary of the Southwest (SSW) supports Black and People of Color theologians by appointing a Crump Visiting Professor to promote diversity, multicultural hospitality, and racial reconciliation at the seminary.
- Established in 2018, this five-year program helps SSW engage with diversity and prepare seminarians to navigate cross-cultural contexts and racial reconciliation in their vocations.
- Past scholars-in-residence include Prof. Melanie C. Jones, Rev. Dr. Cheryl Kirk-Duggan, Prof. Yolanda Norton, and Rev. Dr. Brandon Crowley, who have fostered dialogue on racial awareness and inclusion within the seminary community
