Introducing Carsten Vala
Following Christ 2008 begins tomorrow with 5 Day Ahead events, including ESN’s first national gathering, Flourishing in the Academy. We’re hosting a couple of guest bloggers to post updates about the conference. Whether you’re at the conference yourself or following from home, I hope you’ll join the conversation.
Today, we introduce our second guest blogger, Dr. Carsten Vala, assistant professor of political science at Loyola College. Here’s a little more about him:
Carsten just started teaching as an assistant professor in political science at Loyola College in Maryland. Born in Denmark, Carsten became a Christian while teaching English in China and then volunteered with Peace Corps in the jungles of Suriname. He just finished his PhD thesis on the politics of Protestantism in contemporary China at the University of California, Berkeley, where he served on the leadership team of the local graduate Christian fellowship. Now he attends Faith Christian Fellowship in Baltimore and is asking questions about following Christ in terms of power, race, and class.
Welcome, Carsten!
