Event: Religion and Democratic Ideals: Rematriation, Land, and Healing
Hussein TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2024, 6 – 7:30PM
This event is free and open to the public.
A liberal democracy should produce societies that are inclusive, equitable, dynamic, and responsive to the needs of citizens. This series will focus on where religion intersects with democratic ideals and institutions. We will discuss the outcomes we want from a democratic system and how such an analysis can help us construct pathways to achieving those goals.
This fourth session, “Rematriation, Land, and Healing,” features co-founder of Women of Bears Ears, Cynthia Wilson, and board member of Women of Bears Ears, Doreen Bird. Assistant Dean for RPL, Hussein Rashid, will act as moderator.
How we steward our land—and the lands of others—brings up essential questions of belonging, indigeneity, and spiritual and political governance. How do different types of stewardship impact how we enact democracy in and with the land we occupy? This session examines how we relate to the natural world around us and the possibilities—and obstacles—for strengthening those relationships through our democratic institutions.
