Input on Feminist Leadership at ATESEA General Assembly

 
I participated in the General Assembly of the Association for Theological Education in South East Asia (ATESEA) on Oct. 16-20 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I gave a paper and a powerpoint presentation on one of the key themes, "Women's Role in Transformational Leadership".

In my presentation I modified the topic to "Contributions of Feminist Leadership in Theological Education" - highlighting the fact that having a woman in leadership does not automatically guarantee feminist leadership for feminism is not gender-specific. Part of my challenge to the seminary heads and faculty is to integrate feminist perspective in their teaching - in terms of content, methodology, and also in the way of relating with colleagues and students.

Other speakers were: Huang Po Ho on "Covenant with the Churches in Asia: Retargetting Theological Education in Responding to the Life and Death Struggles of People in Asia" which focused on the challenges to theological education amidst the changing context of Asia; Emmanuel Gerrit Singgih on Revisiting/Rethinking Critical Asian Principle"; and Wong Yew Chong on "Self-Reliance in Theological Education in Asia."

The CCA-FMU, like its former desks for theological concerns,is a network partner of ATESEA.
