Event overview
This lecture explores the role of religion and spirituality in sustaining individuals and communities, rather than replicating colonisation.
Welcome to the fourth event in the 2018 lecture series curated by new Fellows of the Faiths and Civil Society Unit at Goldsmiths on: ‘Faith and the Future of Civil Society’. Bringing their experience as professionals and practitioners, they critically explore how structures and practices of religion, beliefs and spirituality shape modern life and politics, both in the present and in the future.
Centuries of disrespect for indigenous peoples and their spiritualities by the European settlers has ongoing consequences in postcolonial societies. There is a growing acceptance that redressing past colonial injustices cannot occur while continually ignoring the religions and spiritualities of indigenous peoples. This lecture explores the role of religion and spirituality in sustaining individuals and communities, rather than replicating colonisation. Beth Crisp is Professor in Health and Social Development at Deakin University, Australia.
