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”
Sounds like she’s studying stuck on stupid.
