According to a recent press release, Goizueta is the 2019-2020 distinguished visiting professor in the Alonzo L. McDonald Family Chair on the Life and Teachings of Jesus and Their Impact on Culture, teaching a course at the Candler School of Theology on Spirituality of Liberation.

On Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 11 a.m., Goizueta will lead a lecture called, “In Christ: Salvation, Deification and the Option for the Poor,” which will focus on the theological concept “of giving preference to the poor and powerless,” according to a recent press release.
