Quaker Theology and Whiteness

This course will give you a deeper understanding of Whiteness and its history within Christian European theology. After an introduction to Whiteness, we will learn how White Christians understood Judaism and Islam in the 18th century, and Hinduism and Buddhism in the 19th century. This will give us the tools to critically approach Quaker theology in the 20th century.

Each week of the course will involve a live online session, where Mark will share thoughts from his current PhD research for you to discuss. This course draws on the work of Black and Critical White theologians, making their insights accessible to a non-academic audience. No work is required between each live session, but notes and reading lists will be provide for those who want to go deeper.
