USF Summer Course: Disability and Jewish Social Justice, With Rabbi Julia Watts Belser
Sundays, June 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 & July 14; 10:00 AM-2:00 PM, 

University of San Francisco is excited to announce that they are now accepting applications for their summer course, Disability and Jewish Social Justice with Rabbi Julia Watts Belser. "This course aims to help students deepen their capacity to create cultures of accessibility within Jewish social justice practice. We’ll bring classical Jewish texts into conversation with the lived experiences of contemporary disability activists to grapple with spiritual and political questions about access and equity, invisibility and shame, as well as practices for transforming social inequality. We’ll hone skills for recognizing and resisting ableism, as well as for understanding the way ableism intersects with racism, antisemitism, misogyny, queer, trans, fat hatred, and more. We’ll also examine the contours of hegemonic norms around decorum and behavior, pace and time, as well as physical and sensory access and consider ways to transform our religious communities and cultural spaces so that they more fully welcome the vivid, complex diversity of all our bodies and minds." APPLY BY WEDNESDAY, MAY 15
