DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Samuel Ferguson lect
 urer is Prof. J. Kameron Carter (University of California\, Irvine). \n\
 nProf. Carter is Professor of African American Studies\, Comparative Lit
 erature & Religious Studies\, and has published Race: A Theological Acco
 unt (Oxford\, 2008) and The Anarchy of Black Religion: A Mystic Song (Du
 ke\, 2023). The latter is the first in a trilogy on The Black Study of R
 eligion. \n\nFerguson lecture: “Authoritarianism\; or\, Theology and the
  Strongman”\nThursday 6 March\, 4-5.30 PM\, conference room C1.18 in the
  Ellen Wilkinson building (no. 77 on the campus map) at the University o
 f Manchester\, followed by a reception. \n\nWhile a growing body of lite
 rature is looking into the nexus of authoritarianism\, resurgent fascism
 \, (ethno-) nationalism and runaway capitalism\, often under the rubric 
 of the problem of “the Strongman\,” such analyses rarely consider the th
 eological dimensions of this contemporary problem. Building on the work 
 of W. E. B. Du Bois and black feminism’s critique of the “patriarch form
 \,” this talk begins to address the specifically Christian theological d
 imensions of the ideology of the Strongman by locating it within a long 
 history or genealogy of race\, gender\, and political theology.\n\nProf.
  Carter will also give a presentation at Manchester Cathedral on the top
 ic  “Beyond Idolatry (Political and Otherwise)” on \nThursday 6 March\, 
 12–1 PM\, Full details in the links.\n\nBoth events are free\, and ticke
 ts are not required. \n
