One of the highest priorities for HDS in recent years has been expanding faculty expertise. This year, Dean Hempton welcomed Professors Tracey E. Hucks, AM '95, PhD '98, Terrence L. Johnson, MDiv 'oo, and Ahmad Greene-Hayes to the HDS community. Their remarkable strengths as researchers and teachers will greatly enhance the School's curricular offerings, scholarship, and support of African diasporic and African American religious studies. In collaboration with leading scholars across the School, this wave of new faculty members will have a major influence on the next generation of HDS students and the future of education.
