Deconstructing the Idolatry of White Supremacy

April 29, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT

On zoom or in person, with masks and physical distancing. Deconstructing the Idolatry of White Supremacy: Embracing a Trinitarian Identity as Solidarity With Others, with SimonMary A. Aihiokhai, Ph.D.

Register in Advance

Grounding our identity in the Trinitarian vision allows us to see ourselves as a creatures radically defined by webs or relationships. This talk aims to deconstruct identities of exclusion that have come to define whiteness as a mode of being in the world. To do this, a decolonial lens will be used to look closely at how White supremacy has played out in our world as an identity marker radically defined by notions of scarcity and aridity of imagination. This talk also aims to articulate new ways of seeing ourselves as citizens for each other in a world that is deeply relational with the intent to address the traumas instantiated by systemic racism and other related structures of discrimination playing out in our country and our world.
