Christine E. Ohenewah is a Lawyer, Humanist, and Professor whose work integrates Law, the Social Sciences, and Humanities with personal evolution. Born in Accra, Ghana, Ohenewah immersed herself in the belief that deeper intellectual discovery must be used to elevate personhood. 

​

Ohenewah cemented her conviction across disciplines and geographies. She earned her Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School and holds advanced degrees in Sociology and International Relations from Columbia University and the University of Chicago. Ohenewah also earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and American Studies from Macalester College and  studied Pan-African philosophy at Oxford and Harvard.

​

After initially beginning her career in White Collar criminal defense at a Big Law firm in New York City, Ohenewah discovered her true calling in university lecture halls. Now a Professor teaching courses in  Criminology, Sociology, and Ethics, she is committed to fostering environments where students who have often felt unseen can reclaim their ability to self-determine. Ohenewah's students describe her as "more than a teacher" who invites honesty and challenges conventional thought.

​

Her founding of the Elizabeth Tweneboah Foundation in 2025, marks the first step toward establishing a  new university devoted to intimate, rigorous, and liberatory education. Her pedagogy blends Socratic dialogue, legal reasoning, and reflective practice in order to facilitate intellectual ingenuity and transformation. 

​

For Professor Ohenewah, this is her life's work: to build an academe reared in truth and humanistic advancement. An academe called to welcome new creators and ignite inner power.
