Traci C. West
Speaking

I find it enlivening to engage in conversations that combine thinking and doing, examine church and society, and include experimental pedagogies for justice-making. I am especially interested in:
-
Race, gender, and sexuality in public moral life
-
Racial politics of gender violence and misogyny
-
Liberative Christian faith and multifaith collaboration
-
Intercultural ethics and activism
-
Histories of anti-racist and gender justice struggle

"I am especially interested in the ways in which scholar activists and church leaders can create common understandings that undermine society wide patterns of abuse and intracommunal betrayal."
