PRESS RELEASE
Toronto, March 22, 2019
One of the hot news on the airwaves and the news media generally today is the worldwide migration crisis. Thousands of mostly young people travel dangerously by land, sea, and air to seek greener pastures in Europe, North America, Asia. The international media have shown many footages of such migration attempts by young Africans including women and children, many of whom fall in the hands of human traffickers and end up as Slaves, Sex works, or in refugee camps.
Chapters are solicited for inclusion in an edited volume titled Activism in the Name of God: Religion and Black Feminist Public Intellectuals from the Nineteenth Century to the Present.
Please send inquiries to Jami.Carlacio@yale.edu to pitch your idea.
The Religion and Culture in the Americas Seminar explores topics in religion and culture broadly from interdisciplinary perspectives including social history, biography, cultural studies, visual and material culture, urban studies, and the history of ideas. We are interested in how religious belief has affected society, rather than creedal-or theological focused studies.
