Conversation on Outreach Conference for LBGTQI+ Catholics and Allies

In this 25-minute conversation with Dr. Karen Eifler, Collegium alum Gregory Pulver (2021), Professor of Theater and inaugural director of the Gender & Sexuality Center at University of Portland, shares specific takeaways from the packed Outreach Conference hosted in August at Georgetown University. He was particularly taken with insights offered by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Hartford International University, on the so-called “Biblical clobber passages” used too often to marginalize LGBTQI+ people. Professor Pulver shares ideas for creating welcoming, honest spaces for students and colleagues that he gained from this gathering.
