The Elusive Quest for Salvation: Lecture and Dialogue Mixer with Dr. Danielle Hodge

The Elusive Quest for Salvation, a culmination of the lectures on love and freedom, looks to Derrick Bell as a paradigm for creating space ripe for future making. Offering counterstories that question what salvation means, think through different contours of salvation, and explore how we may arrive at salvation, this lecture invites a kind of speculation and imagining that sustains our responsibility to, as the spiritual says, ‘see what the end will be.’

This event is part of the Juneteenth Lecture Series with Dr. Danielle Hodge. Each of these lectures invoke African American legal scholar Derrick Bell’s seminal
contribution, And We Are Not Saved: The Elusive Quest for Racial Justice, by situating love, freedom, and salvation as perpetually evasive though necessary in our struggle for liberation. Click here to learn more about the other lectures in the series.
