Free online presentation - November 8, 2024 - 12 noon ET / 9 am PT
Hosted by The Leadership Institute for Growth, Healing, and Transformation (LIGHT) at Meadville Lombard Theological School, and by the UUA Global Connections & Emerging Communities Office, this presentation will examine some of the more enduring threads of colonialism within religious leadership through the themes of individualism, expertise, and change, with movement toward reweaving frameworks for embodying leadership beyond imperial norms and supremacies.
Post-Imperial Futures: Addressing Legacy and Living Into Promise
In October 2022 the UUA Global Connections & Emerging Communities Office and Meadville Lombard Theological School hosted a conference to address the legacy of Empire and how its desire to dominate and mark out Otherness has us participate in harmful colonial enterprises.
The conference was designed for scholars, activists, ministers, and leaders. Participants were equipped with resources and practices to live into the promise of radical, post-colonial, and faithful futurities.
