Yohana A. Junker
Professor für spirituelle Formung und KunstVizepräsident für institutionelle Forschung und Planung
Dr. Junker’s research probes the intersections among the fields of art history, eco-criticism, and decolonial studies, with special attention to contemporary Indigenous and diasporic art practices. In her writing, art, and activism, she explores the human capacity to imagine and retrieve generative ways of being even in the face of impossibility. She also investigates the ways artists create poetic spaces that allow viewers to come together, to reclaim agency and restore a sense of purpose, a thirst for justice, and a desire for transformation. Her artwork is central to her scholarship and activism.
Dr. Junker has contributed chapters for the following forthcoming volumes: Georgetown Companion in Interreligious Studies (Georgetown); Sustainable Societies: Interreligious & Interdisciplinary Responses (Springer); Painted Portrayals: The Art of Characterizing Biblical Figures (SBL Press); she is co-editing, with Dr. Aaron Rosen: Modern and Contemporary Artists on Religion: A Global Sourcebook (Bloomsbury).
Dr. Junker serves on several boards organizations: Art, Religion, and Culture (ARC); Center for Arts and Religion; La Comunidad; Feminist Studies in Religion Blog. Read more on her at www.yohanajunker.com

Meine Kunst ist zentral für meine wissenschaftliche Arbeit und meinen Aktivismus. Ich untersuche gerne, wie Künstler poetische Räume schaffen, die es den Betrachtern ermöglichen, zusammenzukommen, Handlungsfähigkeit zurückzugewinnen und ein Gefühl der Bestimmung wiederherzustellen.
