My name is Christine Ohenewah, and I am a Professor and the Founding Dean of the Tweneboah Institute, an educational institution of the Elizabeth Tweneboah Foundation, Inc. I am a native of Accra, Ghana now based in New York. 

​

My work converges law, theology, and the social sciences to cross-examine the connection between intimate union and human betterment. From this foundation, I established the Tweneboah Institute in honor of my grandmother as an emerging theological institution dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of marriage. The Institute therefore immerses itself in the cultivation of individual power and autonomy by exploring the human condition.​

 

Through Men’s Rea™, the Institute’s public education initiative, I host seminars and public conversations that invite individuals to reconsider prevailing assumptions around men, masculinity, and power. My work is deeply informed by my experience teaching courses in criminal law, domestic violence, and sociology, which animates the foremost concern in my research: Investigating their legal, spiritual, and sociobiological implications, how may we best remedy the harms produced by intimate dynamics between men and women? ​

 

To me, defending the highest potential in others is the essence of what it means to educate. Stewarding vocational pathways that enlist new minds into new purpose is my greatest expression of that sentiment.​
