Outgoing Vanderbilt Divinity School Dean Emilie Townes reflects on her legacy

Vanderbilt University’s Divinity School is the only one of its kind in the South. It’s liberal and interdenominational, and, under the leadership of Dean Emilie Townes, has only grown its reputation as a theological institution leading in the areas of diversity and social justice. Later this month, Townes will step down as dean. She joins us to reflect on her legacy, and how the Divinity School has changed with Nashville over the past decade. But first, we’ll respond to listener feedback in our weekly segment @ us! Guest: Emilie M. Townes, theologian, womanist ethicist, author, ordained Baptist clergywoman This episode was produced by Andrea Tudhope.
