7pm, Monday 15 June
Professor Barbara Becnel
Our first Cuddesdon Compassion Salon will take place in the Common Room at Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford, OX44 9EX.
The conversation will be with Professor Barbara Becnel, a leading racial justice activist in the US. Her work with the former gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, made into the Golden Globe nominated film Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story. Becnel is a criminologist seeking to work with leaders around the world to reject publicly the Doctrine of Discovery and papal edicts or ‘bulls’ of the 1400s and 1500s that promoted a theological narrative of European domination and superiority, and to reconceive the social contract in more equitable ways.
