The Department of Social Work invites you to an event, “Social Work Fall Diversity Dialogue: Public Theology and Public Policy for Racial Justice with Ekemini Uwan,” tomorrow (Wednesday) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Uwan is a public theologian, international human rights activist, and coauthor of the 2023 NAACP image award nominated book Truths Table: Black Women’s Musing on Life, Love and Liberation. She serves as the special advisor for The Aspen Institute’s Racial Justice and Religion Collective.

Uwan is a charter member of the International Civil Working Group of the Permanent Forum for People of African Descent at the United Nations and is a reparations activist whose work spans the globe, as she has advocated for global reparations on behalf of Africans and African descendants on the floor of the United Nations three times.

As one who is passionate about theology, Uwan has a fierce commitment to the gospel and its implications for issues pertaining to reparations, racial injustice, anti-Black racism and white supremacy. She believes that theology can and does speak to our present-day culture, social and political issues.

Don’t miss this opportunity to dialogue with an accomplished social writer and activist. For further information and questions, contact Kim Rapp at rappk@georgefox.edu.

The Social Work Club, in partnership with the A21 nonprofit organization, invites you to Walk For Freedom, a day dedicated to raising awareness of human trafficking.

On Saturday, Oct. 19, we will come together and hit the streets again. Walking in single-file lines, holding posters and handing out flyers, we will reach our cities with information about human trafficking and how to take action against it. Meet us in front of the Chehalem Cultural Center at 10:30 a.m. to join the cause.

For more information, reach out to Alice Fouts at afouts22@georgefox.edu.
