The Politics of Redemption: Theological and Monetary Perspectives on the Possibility of Justice

The Politics Department welcomes back Callum Ingram '07 to present "The Politics of Redemption: Theological and Monetary Perspectives on the Possibility of Justice."
The talk begins by exploring theological accounts of redemption, arguing that they offer activists powerful resources for building and sustaining transformative movements. It then turns to the older, economic sense of the term as the repayment of something owed to pose harder questions about the limits of redemption and, potentially, of activism itself.
Ingram, assistant professor at the University of Nevada, is the author of recently published Dissent in a World of Structural Oppression.
