Invisible: Lecture at University of St. Michael's College

It meant the world to me to be invited back to my alma mater, University of St. Michael’s College to give a talk on my book, Invisible. I started my Ph.D. in theology in the fall of 2005 after I graduated with my M.Div. at Knox College. It was not an easy decision to make as there were many cultural and theological stumbling blocks and expectations of me. The cultural expectations of having a child and raising children were an enormous burden to carry and live with. It was not just an expectation from my in-laws and family, but also one from Korean male classmates, Korean churches, and even from friends. Many made disparaging comments about my desire to pursue a doctoral degree when I should rather be home trying to raise a family.
