SUMMARY:Julia Watts Belser\, "Radical Rest: Jewish Sabbath Practice as Resistance to Ableism"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 27\, at 6:00 pm\, in Drake’s Sussman Theater (lower level of Olmsted Center)\, Dr. Julia Watts Belser\, Professor of Jewish Studies at Georgetown University\, will deliver a lecture on “Radical Rest: Jewish Sabbath Practice as Resistance to Ableism.” \n\n\n\nWe live in a world pitched toward productivity\, where we often face intense pressure to measure our worth on the basis of our work. In this talk\, Julia Watts Belser brings the insights of disability culture into conversation with Jewish wisdom about Shabbat and Sabbath practice to explore how traditions of radical rest can counter productivity culture. How might Sabbath practice and other forms of intentional slowness offer resources for challenging ableism? How might reimagining religious practice to take seriously disabled people’s experiences of living with limits spur us to build a world that better honors the needs and the yearnings of all our bodies and minds?
