March 23-25, 2017
Sponsored by the Hispanic-Latino/a Center at Garrett – Evangelical Theological Seminary, the 2017 Cátedra Paulo Freire will explore the notion of hope from a variety of angles identifying where small seeds of hope are germinating and multiplying despite the current desolate and hardened soils of our communities and cities. In a world traumatized by practices of marginalization and violence against individuals, communities, and the environment, participants will be invited to expand their horizons by imagining new possibilities of living in solidarity with one another. Seminar speakers will include Garrett -Evangelical professors Dr. Nancy Bedford, Dr. Angela Cowser, and Dr. Timothy Eberhart. In their seminars they will address hope through the lens of ecology, power, violence and trauma, and Latin American theology. Flyer available here.
