ISSUES & METHODS IN CONTEXTUAL THEOLOGIES (DM-6077)
(05/31/2021-09/03/2021)
Course Memo
This course will draw on a variety of sources to engage students in a process of critical reflection on the theologies of their traditions, and foster a collaborative conversation on the construction of their own theology for dismantling racism. The theological conversation will be contextualized with an examination of the social construction of race in systems and structures, focusing primarily on the U.S. context. Students in social locations outside the U.S. will be encouraged to explore resources from their own culture and history. Students will also be introduced to resources for equipping faith communities for engagement in practices for dismantling racism. This course is open to SFTS DMin students only.
