Presenter: 聽Rosemary Carbine
In her presentation, Dr. Carbine offers critical and聽constructive theological reflection on the theological claims and political praxis of聽emerging U.S. social justice movements that聽exemplify a praxis of worldmaking, of聽imagining and incarnating the world otherwise than聽rising gender and sexual violence, xenophobic hate crimes, and white nationalist movements. More specifically, this lecture聽engages feminist and womanist theory and theology聽to elaborate on love as a theo-political ethic of justice based on the聽Revolutionary Love Project and its聽trifold notion of love as seeing no strangers, tending personal and socio-political wounds, and birthing a new future. Pointing out unexpected key parallels with Mary Magdalene, this talk explores her witness as one theological model for women鈥檚 ways of doing public/political theology today, that is, of聽generating alternative possible futures of love and justice.聽聽
