Dr. Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz to be featured speaker at
March 15, 2012 Vanderhaar Symposium
The struggle for justice is the main
avenue to achieve peace--fullness of life. In the 21st century there is
an urgent need to heal enmity and bridge rifts between persons and
among communities and nations. Today reconciliation is the face of
justice. In order to enable reconciliatory practices we need to
engender and strengthen compassion and create solidarity among all
people,between the human species and other species, and between humans
and the biosphere.
Since the 1980's Dr. Isasi-Diaz has focused on the elaboration of mujerista theology based on the religious understandings and practices of Latinas living in the U.S. She has lectured throughout the country as well as internationally on issues of justice, and Latina/o theology.
