Racial Marginalization in CPE
How has CPE historically marginalized many? What does that marginalization look like, overtly and covertly? What does a more appropriate approach to CPE look like?
Join the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab and Rev. Dr. Danielle Buhuro for a presentation on marginalization in clinical pastoral education, the concluding event of the Lab’s project on marginalization in spiritual care, whose work is supported by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. Our presentation will include but not be limited to:
- How clinical pastoral education has historically marginalized students;
- How CPE educators are aware of these issues today;
- How organizations like Sankofa are addressing these issues within the very structure of CPE; and
- What CPE educators everywhere could be thinking about to address these issues if and when they arise in their own programs.
