The 40th anniversary of the Pacific, Asian, and North American Asian Women in Theology and Ministry (PANAAWTM) is a milestone worth celebrating and commemorating. In honor of this significant occasion, we propose an oral history project titled “Voices of Resilience: Documenting the Foremothers of Asian American Feminist Theologies.” This project aims to preserve and amplify the narratives of five influential figures in Asian American feminist theologies, co-founders of PANAAWTM and/or significant shapers of Asian American feminist theologies in various fields: Kwok Pui Lan, Rita Nakashima Brock, Gale Yee, Jung Ha Kim, and Su Yon Park. Through their stories, as shared through intergenerational dialogues with interviewers of successive generations, we seek to enrich the understanding of Asian American feminist theological thoughts and their contributions to broader theological discourse and feminist praxes.
