How do Evangelical Latina/o immigrants use their faith to contest “crimmigration,” or the increasing collaboration between local police and immigration enforcement?

Join us for a special presentation, “Christian Identity, Immigration and Crime,” presented by Dr. Melissa Guzman, assistant professor of sociology at San Francisco State University, tonight (Wednesday) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101.

Based on two years of ethnographic research conducted across different Evangelical Mexican and Central American congregations in California, Guzman examines how the everyday lives of undocumented Latina/o migrants are structured by the criminal justice system, as they negotiate the constant threat of deportation, avoid criminalization, and use their Christian identities to establish a sense of spiritual legitimacy in their communities.

By documenting how Evangelical Latina/o migrants negotiate their religious identities in a context of crime and immigration, her research shows how criminalization affects different individuals in a community, not just the ones who come into direct contact with the criminal justice system by being arrested or deported.

Her work lies at the intersection of:

• Ethnographic research
• Immigration communities
• Religious identities
• Criminal justice

All are invited. Contact Aida Ramos (aramos@georgefox.edu) for more information.

All are invited to the 2017 Spring Faculty Lecture tonight (Tuesday), featuring Craig Johnson, professor emeritus of leadership studies and recipient of the 2015-16 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research & Scholarship.

Craig’s lecture, “A Walk on the Shadow Side of Leadership,” will begin at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105. Following is a synopsis:

“We will focus on the power leaders have to cast light or shadow over followers. They must take special care, ‘lest the act of leadership create more harm than good.’ Refusing to face the dark side of leadership makes abuse more likely. Exploring the destructive dimension of leadership highlights the ethical challenges facing leaders and equips us to illumine rather than darken the lives of others.”

Come early and enjoy the 2017 Spring Richter Student Scholars Symposium! It is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. George Fox student scholars, from both undergraduate and graduate programs, will present their research in a conversational poster format.

The event is sponsored by the Faculty Development Committee. Refreshments will be served.
