معرفی
Theodore Walker serves as an Associate Professor of Ethics and Society at Southern Methodist University, where he bridges theological inquiry with scientific and ethical discourse through interdisciplinary scholarship.
His academic foundation includes:
- Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame (1983)
- B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1976)
Walker's research integrates astro-theology, cosmology, and bioethics with African-American liberation theology and womanist thought. His methodology draws extensively on neoclassical metaphysics (Whitehead, Hartshorne, Ogden) while engaging Black intellectual traditions from Martin Luther King Jr. to Alice Walker, examining how scientific frameworks inform ethical systems and vice versa.
Publication trends reveal an evolution from foundational social ethics in the African-American church toward cutting-edge syntheses of cosmology and liberation theology. Recent works demonstrate increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary convergences—particularly between biology, astro-theology, and ethics—while developing the innovative framework of cosmo-liberation theology that connects cosmic perspectives with social justice imperatives.
