When: Wednesday, March 10th, 11:30am - 12:30 pm (C.T.)
Where: Virtual
Who: Dr. Karyn Loscocco, Professor of Sociology at Albany University and author of Race and Work, and Dr. Paul Lim, Professor at Vanderbilt Divinity School
Cost: $15 or pay what you can. Registration includes a copy of Dr. Loscocco’s book, Race and Work (while supplies last)
In the past year, the United States has reckoned with the realities of racial injustice. The racial justice movements of 2020 have largely focused on the relational, structural, and political implications of racism, but the economic realities of systemic racism are often underlooked. The economic opportunity gaps between Black and White Americans are striking and continue to grow. To understand the racial wealth disparities in the US, we must have an understanding of the historical link between race and paid work in America.
You are invited to “The Intersection of Faith, Race, and Work,” a dynamic conversation between Dr. Paul C.H. Lim, Ph.D. Vanderbilt University and NIFW, and Dr. Loscocco, Ph.D. University at Albany, to discuss Gospel principles and secular research from her book Race & Work, which uses historical and modern data to explain how race and paid work are linked in the U.S. Using her research, Dr. Loscocco will explain the historical roots of how key racial issues are interrelated and intersect with workplace systems and provide suggestions on how we can all move toward racial equity in workplace cultures. Join us on March 10 to hear modern research of race and work issues so we can all become better advocates for equity.
MEET THE SPEAKERS
DR. PAUL LIM
Dr. Paul Lim is an award-winning historian of Reformation Europe. His last book, Mystery Unveiled: The Crisis of the Trinity in Early Modern England (Oxford, 2012), won the Roland H. Bainton Prize in 2013 as the best book in history/theology by the Sixteenth Century Society. He teaches in the Divinity School, History Department and Religious Studies Department at Vanderbilt University. He also serves as the Scholar-in-Residence at Christ Presbyterian Church. Within NIFW, he is the Gotham Co-Teacher and NIFW Senior Advisor, Program Content. He has lived and was educated on three continents – Asia (Seoul), America (Yale, Princeton), and Europe (Cambridge) – and cares deeply about how God’s justice and shalom is manifested in our days of globalization and hyper-pluralisms. He is convinced that pursuit of racial justice is a key area where global evangelicals can apply the gospel more robustly in their daily life.
