In Context

What is In Context?

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in this quarterly open-discussion series to talk about race, diversity and reconciliation.

Finding yourself and learning about others [In] the greater [Context] of history, the Bible, and societal systems.

Join us through discovery, community, and engaging conversations, as we unpack and unveil some realities of race relations, its intersections and impact on our stories. We hope to foster a safe space in which all SPU students, staff, and faculty are invited to engage in challenging and transformative conversations and to equip SPU community members to work towards a better world by thinking critically about systems of exploitation.

In Context is a 6-week workshop hosted by Catalyst ASSP and a program in partnership with the John Perkins Center. The present content is:

  • Race, Capitalism, & Transformative Justice: Together we will learn about the ever-present reality of systemic racism and the ways it holds us back from collective liberation in order to refine our perceptions of ourselves, our histories, and our collective society.
