In celebration of Pride month PSR student Micah Melody Taberner will share her Academic Excellence presentation entitled, “Beyond the ‘Clobber Passages’: Toward a Transgender Christian Ethic of Liberation.” 

In her presentation, rather than merely responding to the “clobber passages,” Micah will look at the Christian scriptures through her lens as a transgender Christian woman ministering to other trans and gender-expansive individuals to offer three tenets that begin to move toward a Transgender Christian Ethic of Liberation: actively creating space for lament, disrupting norms of access to God and community, and moving toward joy and life through co-creation.
