“Exploitation, Consumerism, and Eco-Justice“

by

Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Ph.D.

Globalism, colonialism, and consumerism have caused unjust suffering (han) for the earth’s exploited peoples and the exploited lands. To reverse this tragedy, we need to work for a just, sustainable planet, to imagine new models of development and to rediscover the inner resources needed to empower and sustain our spirits.

Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim is Associate Prof. of Doctrinal Theology at Moravian Theological Seminary and Director of the MATS Program. Her teaching and research centers on giving a voice  to the marginalized and those on the underside of history.

Dr. Kim’s theological interests include Feminist Theology and Asian Theology.

Sponsor: Department of Religion

Additional Funding: The Arts & Lectures Committee

This program reflects the 2012/2013 InFocus Sustainability theme
