Cody and Craig spoke with Tobin, Professor of African American Studies, several months ago in February 2021, episode 45, and learned that he wasn’t keeping up with University of Montana Football (nonetheless, Go Griz). We speak to Tobin again and meet his long-time friend and partner in struggle to dismantle racism, Dr. Regina Shands Stoltzfus of Goshen College.
Regina is professor in the Religion, Justice, and Society department and worked at anti-oppression and anti-racism for over thirty years.
Over that time, Regina and Tobin co-founded several anti-racism initiatives for institutions, leaders, and church and the general public.
We’re visiting with them because of their new book, Been in the Struggle: Pursuing and antiracist spirituality, by Herald Press.
We gained some insight, and we hope you’ll be curious to learn:
what is racialization?
how does culture play a role in developing both our spirituality and our racialization?
in the midst of injustice and oppression, how do both compassion and reckoning function?
