The persistent and pernicious problem of mass incarceration in America has been taken up by numerous religious scholars. This lecture by Christophe Ringer, associate professor of theological ethics and society at the Chicago Theological Seminary, will explore the significance of how ‘religion’ and ‘the religious’ is theorized for understanding what kind of phenomenon mass incarceration is and the possibilities for creating a world beyond it.

This event is co-sponsored by M. Holmes Hartshorne Annual Memorial Lecture Fund.
