CHICAGO FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR MENTEE Yoshua Harahap was joined by his Chapter Mentor, Dr. Norma Fay Green, and his doctoral advisor, Dr. Joanne Marie Terrell, at the Victor Obenhaus Lecture at Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS). The lecture, titled “Benevolent Empire Unmasked: Christian Ethics, Transpacific Wounds, and the Moral Cost of U.S. Imperialism,” highlighted Harahap’s ongoing interdisciplinary research as a native Indonesian scholar.
Held on Monday, March 10, 2025 at the CTS campus in Hyde Park, the event was part of the Victor Obenhaus Lecture Series, which features the work of PhD students. Dr. Terrell marked the occasion by displaying a portrait of abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman, noting the significance of March 10—the day Tubman passed away in 1913 at age 91. This date, she emphasized, bridges Black History Month and Women’s History Month, honoring Tubman’s enduring legacy.
The lecture was a hybrid event, with both in-person and virtual attendees via Zoom, allowing for broader participation and engagement with Harahap’s research.
