This panel features four case studies by VWU students in a 300-level course, Religion and Social Justice, and highlights the interplay between faith and activism. Each presentation showcases students’ primary historical research, examining how religious ideas, practices, and commitments influenced—and were influenced by—social justice activism and advocacy. The projects explore diverse topics from various global contexts, demonstrating how religious communities have engaged with issues such as racial and gender equality, economic and environmental justice, and the pursuit of human dignity, in the pursuit of a more just world.
