Borders and Identity: Earl and Boswell Lectures 2017
2017-03-17 10:00 - 21:00, 2017-03-18 08:45 - 17:00 | Pacific School of Religion, 1798 Scenic Avenue , Berkeley, CA, 94709, United States
Join 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. The conference will emphasize practical skills, timely resources, and a deeper analysis of the critical issues facing us at this moment. Our goal is to equip leaders to stand for justice with all those on the margins and borders.
This event is being held in conjunction with Pacific School of Religion’s Alumni/ae Reunion Weekend. Under the theme of “Borders and Identity,” the Earl Lectures presented in partnership with our Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion‘s Boswell Lecture. For more than a hundred years, Pacific School of Religion (PSR) has hosted the Earl Lectures and Leadership Conference.

The keynote address will be delivered by Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, filmmaker, immigration activist, and founder of Define American. Jose Antonio Vargas’ keynote address is free of charge to the public, made possible by the Earl and Boswell endowments. Seating is limited, however, so please register below.

Registration is available online: https://psr.edu/earl-17/
Thanks to our partnering organizations: Define American, Council of Elders West, Church World Service, and Auburn Seminary.

It is our sincere hope to accommodate all attendees. Please contact us directly at communications@psr.edu or 510/849-8222 if you have accessibility concerns.

32nd Annual Empowering Womxn of Color Conference
2017-03-18 08:30 - 17:30 | Pauley Ballroom, 2475 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA, 94720, United States
2017 Empowering Women of Color Conference | Unbound and Unboxed: Owning, Asserting, and Uplifting our Whole Selves
Keynote Speaker: Ericka Huggins
Closing Speaker: Fatima Asghar
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.” – Audre Lorde
The 32nd Annual Empowering Womxn of Color Conference, “Unbound and Unboxed: Owning, Asserting, and Uplifting our Whole Selves” is designed to answer the call for collective healing issued by the ongoing state of racial, political, environmental, and economic trauma. 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. Now more than ever, womxn of color can no longer afford to neglect ourselves while on the frontlines of global battles against social injustice. We must nurture and free ourselves from the limits and labels imposed on us, so that we may move effectively on the path to liberation.

This year we aim to provide a space where womxn of color can come together to hear one another as we explore new imaginings of freedom and well-being. Through a series of innovative workshops, radical healing spaces, a panel discussion, and speakers, we will explore how we as womxn of color can preserve ourselves and our communities as we work towards changing the world. As we proudly celebrate 32 years of the Empowering Womxn of Color Conference, we invite people of all ages, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, immigration statuses, gender identities, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions, and cultural backgrounds to use this as a safe-space for discussion, community building, and healing.
