The PLU Religion Department welcomes you to the 13th Annual David and Marilyn Knutson lecture at 7pm in the Chris Knutzen Lecture Hall in the Anderson University Center. Dean Douglas will speak from her book, Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God (Orbis, 2015). “Stand Your Ground law signals a social-cultural climate that makes the destruction and death of black bodies inevitable and even permissible. . . . This book is an attempt to untangle the web of social, cultural, and theological discourse that contributes to stand-your-ground culture as well as to provide a theological response.” The lecture is free and open to the public.
Co-sponsored by the President’s Office, Provost Office, Women’s & Gender Studies Program, History Department, Campus Ministry, Lutheran Studies, Languages & Literatures Department, Dean of Inclusive Excellence, Immanuel Presbyterian Church (North Tacoma), and Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church (Tacoma).
