14th Annual Georgia Harkness Lecture – Rev. Dr. Rebecca Voelkel
Rev. Dr. Voelkel has spent the last seven years working at the intersection of queer movements and BIPOC-led reparations efforts. In 2022, she interviewed dozens of Indigenous, Black, and White leaders (many of them queer) about their theological and movement-building work around congregationally-based reparations. Using the knowledge she heard and received, she co-authored Sacred Reckonings: White Settler-Colonizer Churches Doing the Work of Reparations (Center for Sustainable Justice: 2023).

Mi Casa Es Tu Casa: Queer Latinx Reflections on the Family with MT Dávila and Natalia Imperatori-Lee | A CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event
This CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event will explore the concept of familia through a queer Latinx lens. Our panelists will reflect on the many ways “familia” is constructed and deployed in Latinx cultures and will apply a queer reading of familial relationality (including biological families and “chosen” families) to better understand, celebrate, and expand the scope of family in our contemporary diverse society. Such a project has significant implication for how we welcome all persons, especially queer POC, into relationship.
