| Histories of Survival: Womanist Theology & Embodied Resistance
(February 5, Schwartz 112)
Rooted in the vision of Alice Walker, womanist theology crafts an approach to theological studies that centers the lived experiences of women of African descent. In this lecture, Dr. Chanelle Robinson (Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the College of the Holy Cross) explores major contributions to the field of womanist theology. This lecture will also examine how examples of embodied resistance from the Canadian context might challenge womanist theologians to engage the diasporic nature of Black Atlantic history.
