Monday Oct. 30 - 4-6 pm Pacific - Online Workshop - Social Location
Register: https://justiceleadership.org/event/social-location/
Online workshop this coming Monday on the topic of Social Location - our multi-layered identities and how they shape us and our work in the world for social justice. The workshop engages topics of colonialism and how awareness of our multilayered identities support intersectional analysis for social justice work.
Facilitator: Rev. Yuki Schwartz, PhD (they/them) - Claremont School of Theology - Assistant Professor of Constructive Theologies, Spirituality & Decolonial Studies
Dr. Schwartz’s areas of scholarship include deimperial/decolonial studies; Asian and Asian American theology; political theology; and critical race, gender, and sexuality studies. Their dissertation, titled “The Ends of Shame: Toward a Deimperial Political Theology of Messianism,” investigated the development of shame theories under European and US imperialism, with an emphasis on the role of US Cold War politics in Asia in constructing political and theological understandings of shame and guilt.

What participants say about JLP:
"The program gave me a platform to help support what my local church was doing in social issues and to bring new ideas and new skills to the congregation that were missing."
-Sherley, 2023 participant
“Puts your feet on the ground.”
-2023 participant
“I’m less hesitant to speak up and suggest direction within my church. The church, Christianity, democracy are at risk if we don’t get back to love and justice. Having this class, this process, has helped me to put words to what I believe, and the courage to speak them.”
-Maureen, 2023 participant
