Borders and Identity: Earl and Boswell Lectures 2017
Pacific School of Religion 1798 Scenic Avenue , Berkeley, CA, United StatesJoin us for a two-day conference on “Borders & Identity” addressing the critical theological, pastoral and social issues of our day. Migration across all kinds of borders—both physical and metaphorical—is reshaping our understanding of identity across boundaries of race, culture, religion, sexuality, gender, and nationality. It has been a major, and divisive, theme of national politics. Halfway through the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency, join us for an engaging weekend of workshops, worship, direct action, and community building.

Through the legacy of Shirley Chisholm, the first black congresswoman and first woman to run for president, we know that “women in this country must become revolutionaries…and so we must prepare ourselves educationally, economically, and psychologically.” In her trailblazing 1970 presidential campaign, Shirley Chisholm stood “unbought and unbossed.” At the 2017 Empowering Women of Color Conference we stand united; unbound and unboxed. This year’s theme speaks to the need for collective care and affirmation as a means of preparation, preservation, and resistance.
