Anti-Racism As Daily Practice: Jennifer Harvey
Dialogue on Teaching, Wabash Center’s podcast series, is hosted by Nancy Lynne Westfield, Ph.D., Director of the Wabash Center. Amplifying the Wabash Center’s mission, the podcasts focus upon issues of teaching and learning in theology and religion within colleges, university, seminaries, as well as the publics impacted by these schools. Dialogues with faculty and administrators working in the wide range of institutional contexts illumine the complexity of teaching and the teaching life.
The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Harvey is the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Academic Dean at Garrett Evangelical Seminary.
The New York Times bestselling author discusses why her scholarship of religion focuses upon issues of race and anti-racism. She suggests that the work of translation, interpretation and meaning making (good teaching and good faith) is critical in the work of reconciliation and belonging. Through the use of storytelling, and with suggestions of daily habits and practices, Jen provides ways we might move from being overwhelmed to being in better relationships with one another.
