Liberating Spiritualities in Dark Times

A presentation by Christopher D. Tirres, Ph.D., Michael J. Buckley Endowed Chair at Santa Clara University.

How can spirituality serve as a catalyst for social transformation and healing in an age of darkness and despair? How can we cultivate inclusive and justice-centered approaches to spirituality?

Professor Tirres will explore these questions by drawing on the rich traditions of liberation theologies and philosophies of the Americas, engaging the works of figures such as Gloria Anzaldúa, José Carlos Mariátegui, Ada María Isasi-Díaz, Paulo Freire, Virgilio Elizondo, and Ivone Gebara.
