Furman University presents clinical psychologist Chanequa Walker-Barnes  in the Bryan Garden Room in Daniel Memorial Chapel on campus.

 

Walker-Barnes’ talk, “Antiracist While White: The Deeper Work of Constructing a Racially Just World as a White Activist,” is free and open to the public and is presented by Furman’s Office of Spiritual Life and Center for Inclusive Communities.

 

Clinical psychologist, womanist theologian, ecumenical minister, and author of the acclaimed “Too Heavy a Yoke” and “I Bring the Voices of My People,” Walker-Barnes deconstructs the culture of whiteness and moral injury and discusses the deep work required by white activists to combat white supremacy in the work for racial justice.
