An interdisciplinary conversation about ethics, means, and the meanings of sexual abuse memorials
An interdisciplinary conversation about ethics, means, and the meanings of sexual abuse memorials
In this webinar, three scholars will explore questions about whether, when, and how communities can contend–together, as communities–with the history and memory of the Roman Catholic clergy sexual abuse crisis. With expertise in trauma studies, liturgy, theology, and history, our panelists ask about the ethics, means, and meanings of various efforts to remember clergy sexual abuse, as well as those who suffered and defied it.
