While doing this kind of interdisciplinary research requires much time and energy, I would argue that one cannot do research any other way. For example, is it even possible to talk about the construction and deployment of race as a category just in the context of the United States?

In order to keep theological reflections meaningful, redemptive, prophetic, relevant, healing, and hopeful, one must continue to engage in theological reflection that is open to learning from disciplines that are as wide-ranging as possible. Writing is an integral part of the process of research. Writing contributes to a larger theological discourse and thereby weighs in and perhaps even transforms the presuppositions of a particular discourse. It can become a form of resistance, a practice of empowerment as well as a process of learning to decolonize our ways of knowing and producing and disseminating what we have learned into a larger stream in the shared production of knowledge.
