Professor of Hebrew Bible and History of Interpretation
Tuesday, April 29
12:30 p.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. Israel
Hybrid Event: In person and on Zoom
Engaging with religious canon potentially raises questions that challenge a person’s or community’s ethical values. David Aaron explores these questions through the lens of Pirke Avot, one of the central compilations of Jewish ethical teachings of the Rabbinic period.
In collaboration with Xavier University’s Ethics/Religion & Society Program, the Brueggeman Center is proud to sponsor a conversation with Professor Kevin J. O’Brien on “Climate Change and Intersectionality: Expanding the Conversations.”
How is our consideration of environmental issues, such as climate change, transformed when considered through an intersectional lens, attentive to realities of race, class, and gender? Can our awareness of systematic factors, such as relationships of power, and patterns of injustice and exclusion deepen our understanding of what environmental justice requires?
Professor Kevin J. O’Brien (Theology, Pacific Lutheran University) will engage issues of social and environmental justice in conversation with Professors Kristine Suna-Koro (Theology), Bethany Henning (Philosophy/ERS) and Mich Nyawalo (RIGS).
Tuesday, April 18th @ 4:30PM – Conaton Board Room (2nd Floor, Schmidt Hall) on the Xavier University campus.
