How to Bridge Divides in a Polarized Age: Lessons from an Evangelical Church

RSVP for the event.

The American public seems bitterly divided on the subjects of “DEI” and racial justice. Hahrie Han, a political scientist at Johns Hopkins University, has found clues to achieving racial solidarity in a striking location: a predominantly white evangelical megachurch in the Midwest.

In her acclaimed book Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church, Professor Han chronicles her investigation into a faith-based program designed to foster antiracism and systemic change at a Cincinnati megachurch, Crossroads. She explores how the program fundamentally altered the lives of its participants, and what it can teach all of us about achieving justice and solidarity in a polarized age.

Join Professor Han for this timely conversation about faith, race, and hope in a divided America with Kenji Yoshino, Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law and Director of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging.

This event is part of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging speaker series and is cosponsored by the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center. Visit our website for a list of our sponsors.
