Recognising Race, Film and Religion.

Great stories shape us and change us. Please join Professor Anthony Reddie and Canon Professor Greg Garrett to explore how film can open up important conversations on race and faith and to hear how their collaboration has led to important work in the UK and US on race and justice.

Dr. Anthony Reddie is the first Professor of Black Theology in the history of the University of Oxford. A widely published liberation theologian and editor of the international journal Black Theology, Dr. Reddie has lectured and taught widely in the UK and abroad, including recent appearances at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Greenbelt Festival.

Dr. Greg Garrett is the Carole McDaniel Hanks Professor of Literature and Culture at Baylor University in Texas. He is the author of 30 books, including A Long, Long Way: Hollywood’s Unfinished Journey from Racism to Reconciliation, and has spoken at the American Library in Paris, the Edinburgh International Festival of Books, and at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
