Dr. Corwin Malcom Davis, Consultant for the AME Publishing House, will serve as Assistant Professor of Africana Religions, Theologies, and Culture beginning July 1. A burgeoning scholar, cultural writer, and third-generation minister, Dr. Davis recently completed his Ph.D. in Person, Community, and Religious Life at Emory University, with a certificate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. He was awarded the George W. Woodruff Fellowship, the Centennial Scholars Fellowship, and fellowships from Sacred Writes, the Louisville Institute, and the Forum for Theological Exploration.
 
Dr. Davis’s research brings together African Diasporic religiosities, psychologies of religion, feminist and queer theories, and cultural studies. He is co-editor of the forthcoming volume At This Time: Dialogues in Theological Education (Eerdmans) and has published articles in Religions, Theology and Sexuality, and Political Theology. He has held leadership roles as Director of the Center for Academic Success at Candler School of Theology and Associate Director of the national “Theological Education Between the Times” project.
 
Ordained as an Itinerant Elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. Davis has served congregations in Tennessee and New York and currently supports the AME Publishing House as a consultant and project director. Reflecting on his new role, he shared:
 
“It is a profound joy to join the PSR community—a place where scholarly rigor and prophetic witness come together in service of justice, compassion, and liberation. I am excited to teach, collaborate, and learn alongside colleagues and students who are deeply invested in transforming both theological education and the world.”
