About Larycia Hawkins
Prior to obtaining her Ph.D., Larycia Hawkins worked in state government administering federal programs, including the Social Security Disability Programs and the Community Development Block Grant.
Dr. Hawkins’ research interests lie at the intersection of race, religion, and politics. She is currently working to publish her dissertation, Framing the Faith-Based Initiative: Black Church Elites and the Black Policy Agenda. Her active research agenda includes projects that explore the extent to which black theology frames black political rhetoric and how black theology is reflected on black political agendas, like those of the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP; and a project that considers the political activism of black congregations outside the ambit of the black church (i.e. black Catholic parishes, United Church of Christ).
Active research projects include:
“Jesus and Justice: The Moral Framing of the Black Policy Agenda”
“Prophets in Purgatory: Black Political Churches Outside the Black Church Milieu”

It’s a sad day when formerly Christian colleges lose sight of their original calling and mission statement; and take to wallowing in PC, and hiring squirrely CINOs as a fraudulent type of bona fides.
That’s how you wind up with a whackjob “professor” who either never heard of Acts 4:12, or doesn’t believe it; which begs the question as to how she got hired. There was a day when Wheaton was big stuff in Christian circles.
Billy Graham frequently chose Wheaton as a venue for evangelistic seminars among college students, etc., back in the 70s and 80s. Apparently, Wheaton no longer even believes anything much, else they would at least check the theology of the faculty they hire. It appears they never checked THIS fair young lady.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Liberty U. and others like it.
