Professor Dara Delgado will give a public talk on race, religion and reproductive justice today (October 22) in the Pelletier Library (Room 311) from 12:20 to 1:20 pm. The talk is based on recent public scholarship by Professor Delgado which was recently published in The Conversation.
This talk will discuss a recent speech made by Vice President Kamala Harris (to members of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority) in which she reflected on the importance of balancing one’s faith with political resistance. Professor Delgado, a scholar of history and religion, will discuss Harris’ remarks and will consider the often-overlooked relationship enjoyed between political freedom, religious identity, and race. Time reserved for audience questions will follow the public address.
The talk is sponsored by the Center for Political Participation, Black Studies, Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Religion in American Life.
We hope to see you there.
