Tenure Lecture: Dr. Kara Wolff

Join us for the tenure lecture of Dr. Kara Wolff, Professor of Counseling, on Tuesday, April 5 at 3:55 pm in the Grand Lobby of Ozinga Chapel.  Tenure lectures are a celebration of the mature Christian scholarship of our faculty colleagues. When we celebrate these moments, we mark and extend our commitment to our core identity and mission as a College – and we rejoice at the gifted teacher-scholars in our midst!

Wolff’s lecture is entitled “Christian Social Justice Pedagogy: A Shared Dwelling Place.” At the core of the human experience is a desire to belong and to be deeply known. Despite this longing we often find ourselves challenged to connect in deep and meaningful ways across our constructed barriers. This lecture explores how cultivating a learning environment that fosters love for each other and prioritizes pursuing justice and equity opens us up to transformational ways of being in the world.
