Sunday, November, 8th, 2015 Past Programs 2015-16
Monday, November 9, 7 pm, Alumnae Lounge
How have diasporas and settler colonialism impacted various religions in the U.S.? How has the history of migration and oppression led to a strengthening of faith for some people while causing a rejection of faith by others? This panel will investigate the ways in which marginalized peoples have retooled and/or rejected the impact of colonialism and missionary activity in past and current social movements of survival, resistance, and social justice. Please join us for a panel discussion moderated by Religion professor Heather Curtis.
Refreshments will be served.
Panelists include:
- Natalie Avalos, Visiting Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Connecticut College
- Aisha Beliso-De Jesus, Associate Professor of African American Religions, Harvard Divinity School
- Linford Fisher, Associate Professor of History, Brown University
- The Reverend Irene Monroe, PhD, Cambridge author and activist
