A writer, teacher, and speaker, Dr. Jennifer Harvey focuses much of her work on the intersection of religion, ethics, race, gender, and spirituality. A professor of religion at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, she has become a sought-after speaker on the topic of racial justice. This engagement with Dr. Harvey is another step in Immanuel's commitment to continuing conversation and action around the realities of racial injustice and white privilege in church and culture.
Dr. Harvey is the author of Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation and Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America. Books will be available through Boswell Book Company on Saturday afternoon.
