SUMMARY:Redefining Religion
DESCRIPTION:Challenging Eurocentric Narratives through Conjure\nLove argues that reexamining Conjure traditions exposes how African American spiritual practices have been sidelined in Eurocentric religious studies. Highlighting Conjure’s history of resistance and Black women’s agency\, the essay challenges Western categories that separate religion\, magic\, and science. Love ultimately urges a decolonized approach that honors the resilience and creativity of African American folk traditions. \nGuest speaker: Naomi Love
