Intersectionality Series: Loving Our Own Bones: Disability Wisdom with Julia Watts Belser

The Intersectionality Series is an engaging new series sponsored by Georgetown’s Athletic Department, Disability Cultural Center, LGBTQ Resource Center, Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, and Women’s Center. The series seeks to create an ongoing dialogue on campus about intersectionality as an embodied ethos and practice, by amplifying artists, scholars, practitioners, and activists with relevant lived experience and expertise. Throughout the series, we hope to cultivate an inclusive, accessible community invested in collective care and flourishing.

Join us to celebrate Prof. Julia Watts Belser’s new book, Loving Our Own Bones: Disability Wisdom and the Spiritual Subversiveness of Knowing Ourselves Whole, a transformative spiritual companion and deep dive into disability politics that reimagines disability in the Bible and contemporary culture. Julia Watts Belser is a rabbi, scholar, and spiritual teacher, as well as a longtime activist for disability, LGBTQ, and gender justice. Together we will celebrate this new book with a collaborative creative project and cupcakes. Students, pick up your free copy of the book from DCC!
