SUMMARY:Solimar Otero: 2024-2025 Vincent G. Harding Scholar Lecturer
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Defiant Presences: The Inspired Seascapes of Afro-Cuban Divinities\, Saints\, and Ancestors”With Solimar Otero\nTuesday\, April 8\, 2025  – 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.Iliff School of Theology | Shattuck Hall\nRegister Here\nWe are pleased to announce Solimar Otero as the 2024-2025 Vincent G. Harding Scholar Lecturer.\nThe sea serves as an epistemological orientation for understanding Afro-Cuban religious traditions that access divinities and the dead to reinforce group solidarity and produce healing. \nThis lecture will explore how spirit mediums and entities create historical\, cultural\, and ritual intersections that elucidate an ongoing worlding that carries potent political strategies for sustenance through an enactment of the waters\, especially the ocean. In particular\, this presentation looks at synergies between bodily acts like the singing of the song “Mamá Francisca\,” the drawing of Palo signatures for kalunga (the sea of the dead)\, and altar creation in honor of Yemayá. \nThe result is a complex and fluid understanding of spiritual practices and relationships that resist flattening and slip through taxonomic rendering. Further\, by continually accessing afterlives that are porous and action-oriented\, communities create spatial and temporal conduits between the living and the dead that are full of a radical social purpose. \nAbout the Speaker\nSolimar Otero is the Director of the Latino Studies Program\, and Professor of Folklore and Gender Studies at Indiana University\, Bloomington. She is also the editor of the Journal of Folklore Research. Her research centers on how gender and race shape Afro-Caribbean spirituality and Yoruba traditional religion in folklore\, performance\, literature\, and ethnography. \nOtero is a Folklore Fellow of the American Folklore Society\, and an elected member of the American Antiquarian Society. She has also received a Ruth Landes Memorial Research Fund grant\, a fellowship at the Harvard Divinity School’s Women’s Studies in Religion Program\, and a Fulbright award. \nShe is the author of Archives of Conjure: Stories of the Dead in Afrolatinx Cultures (Columbia University Press 2020)\, which won the 2021 Albert J. Raboteau Prize for the Best Book in Africana Religions. She is also the author of Afro-Cuban Diasporas in the Atlantic World\, (University of Rochester Press\, 2010); co-editor of Yemoja: Gender\, Sexuality\, and Creativity in Latina/o and Afro-Atlantic Diasporas (SUNY Press 2013); Theorizing Folklore from the Margins: Critical and Ethical Approaches (Indiana University Press\, 2021); Eshu Elegba’s Crossroads: Transcultural Creativity in the Works of Femi Euba (Routledge 2025); and Emerging Perspectives in the Study of Folklore and Performance (Indiana University Press 2025).

SUMMARY:Academy of Religious Leadership Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join the Academy of Religious Leadership as we explore the timely topic of Leadership as Justice.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dates: April 24-26\, 2025\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\nThe 2025 ARL Annual Meeting is a hybrid event with both in-person and online options. See below for registration details. The theme of our 2025 annual meeting will be “Leadership as Justice.”  \nExploring leadership as justice invites a reconsideration of the what\, who\, why\, when\, where\, and how of justice for leaders and religious communities alike. What does justice look\, sound\, smell\, taste\, and feel like for leaders and communities? What new forms and structures might/does just leadership take within communities? Who determines what justice is or should be\, and for whom? Why is—or is not—justice a core concern for some leaders and not others\, and thus some communities and not others?  \nThe ARL Annual Meeting invites scholars and practitioners into thoughtful conversation about the (r)evolutionary vocation of leadership. Our methods: discussing provocative\, original papers/presentations\, networking\, and imagining an emerging future in the theological education\, formation\, and ongoing development of religious leaders in a fast-paced\, challenging world. \nIt will be held in Denver\, CO\, April 24-26\, 2025. The conference begins Thursday evening and ends Saturday at Noon. Schedule forthcoming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Iliff School of Theology\, 2323 E.
