The Second- Annual Theta Alpha Kappa Religion in Public Life Lecture presents The Appropriation of Hagar by Dr. Nyasha Junior. 

Concerns about cultural appropriation abound. Dr. Nyasha Junior of Temple University tells the story of how Hagar, an enslaved Egyptian woman pivotal in the scriptures of Jews, Christians and Muslims came to be known as a black woman and the lessons these imagining hold for us today. Named one of "15 Indispensible Academic Twitter Accounts" by The Chronicle of Higher Education, Dr. Junior is one of the most sought after scholars on the difference race continues to make in biblical interpretation.
