The Desmond Tutu (SARChI) Chair in Religion and Social Justice invites you to a Symposium in commemoration of Women's Month and the Marikana Massacre.
Topic: "Economies of Violence: Religion, Resistance, Rest"
Date: Thursday, 26 August 2021
Time: 16:00-19:00 SAST
REGISTER HERE
9th August 1956, and 16th August 2012, bring up for scrutiny the “economies of violence” that continue to sustain the indignity and the poverty which women, queer people, and marginalized Black men in South Africa disproportionately experience. The COVID-19 pandemic has simply exacerbated this reality. Recognising the multiple factors which shape access to justice such as gender, religion, race and class, we annually convene various public and scholarly conversations on these subjects.
This year’s symposium considers the importance of resisting/transcending the epistemic violence which demands that Black women focus on research and teaching that is perpetually located within pain and suffering. By doing so we also consider the spiritual reflections and practices which bring us joy and rest.
16:00 SAST Journal Launch: Special Issue of the Journal of Theology for Southern Africa – Drawing from the Womanist Wells of Katie Geneva Cannon
17:30 SAST Public Lecture: "Loving Justice, Living Ethics: Islamic Feminist Reflections"
Please refer to the poster for more information.
