Activist, author named speaker
As part of Waynesburg lecture series
Waynesburg University will host Julie Clawson, writer, activist and author of “Everyday Justice: The Global Impact of Our Daily Choices,” as part of the Christ & Culture Lecture Series.
Clawson will speak in Alumni Hall Monday, March 14, and Tuesday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m. each evening. She will also speak at the university’s chapel service Tuesday at 11 a.m. Admission is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.
Clawson’s novel “Everyday Justice” focuses on day-to-day life and explains how ordinary lifestyle choices have much larger implications for global justice. The book looks at how individuals get their food and clothing, as well as shows the surprising cost of consumer waste.
Clawson believes that the more sustainable our lifestyles, the more just our world will be. Through this daily justice, she believes individuals express their love for God and their neighbors while learning to make ethical choices, large and small.
Clawson has also published an essay titled, “This is My Body – Nourishment, Sustainability, and Sacrifice as Response to Eucharist,” as well as many articles in “Emerging Women, Emerging Parents,” “Deep Green Conversation” and “God’s Politics.”
