Rethinking Social Justice: Approaches that Hurt Rather than Help Those in Need

Lecture by Dr. Ryan Messmore

Thursday, March 31, 2011 6:30 AM to 7:45 AM EDT
Shenandoah Hall, Room 07

Poverty. Addiction. Homelessness. Human trafficking. These problems are serious and complex, but passion alone won't solve them. Sometimes our solutions do more harm than good. How can we act effectively on our good intentions to promote human dignity and serve those in need? This lecture unpacks a relational framework for understanding and engaging poverty, social breakdown, and injustice.
