The Social Justice Institute will host the first session of the Social Justice Research Lunch Series, titled “'God Complexes' and 'Complex Gods': Emancipatory Practices in Religion and Hip Hop,” Tuesday, Sept. 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in Crawford Hall, Room A9.
The lecturer, Associate Professor of Religious Studies Joy Bostic, will explore the use of "divine grammars" by black hip hop and contemporary pop artists to address complex issues of race, gender, sexuality, power and divinity. Bostic is the founding director of the new minor in African and African American Studies.
