Decoloniality, Hermeneutics, and Theo-Ethics:
A Conversation with Dr. Néstor Medina
Date:
Monday, December 14th at 1:30pm (EST)
via Zoom
We would like to invite your to our fall semester Scripture, Faith, and Scholarship Symposium, which will feature a conversation with Dr. Néstor Medina at the intersection of decoloniality, interpretation, and theology.
Dr. Néstor Medina is Assistant Professor of Religious Ethics at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto. He engages ethics from contextual, liberationist, intercultural, and post/decolonial perspectives. He explores the ethical implications of religious/theological debates, and how these shape concrete social structures and notions of ethnoracial and cultural identity. He also studies how lived religious experiences shape/transform people’s understandings of ethics on the ground, especially reflecting from Latina/o/x (Canadian and USA), Latin American, and Latina/o Pentecostal perspectives. For the last 10 years, he has been studying the ethical implications of interethnic and intercultural relations particularly in connection with indigenous communities in Canada and Latin America. He is the author of Mestizaje: (Re)Mapping ‘Race,’ Culture, and Faith in Latina/o Catholicism (Orbis, 2009), a booklet On the Doctrine of Discovery (CCC, 2017), and his recent Christianity, Empire and the Spirit (Brill 2018).
This event is sponsored by the Centre for Philosophy, Religion, and Social Ethics.
