Join GCPL as Emory University professor Dr. Ellen Ott Marshall discusses her book, "Parenting for a Better World: Social Justice Practices for Your Family and the Planet" and shares practical ways to work towards global justice.
Parenting for a Better World shows there are all sorts of ways we can make a real difference from within our own homes. Even busy parents can work with their families for global justice. Without pressing you to do it all, this book offers spiritual resources for reflecting on the relationship between your faith, your calling for justice, and your commitment to parenting. Find encouragement from fellow parents who weave together stories of caregiving, activism, and scripture that affirm your sense of calling. Plus it offers practical strategies to help committed (and over-committed) people integrate caregiving and justice work into their daily lives.
Dr. Ellen Ott Marshall is an Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Conflict Transformation at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. She focuses on contemporary Christian ethics, with particular attention to violence, peacebuilding, conflict transformation, gender, and moral agency.
