Description:
Millions of women and men of all ages in our world and within our own society are on the move, literally. Most are religious beings searching for meaning and new beginnings; many flee adversity and lack of opportunity. Part of our psychological experiences deals with the motivations, meanings, interpretations, and perceptions bound up in these integral spiritual-related dimensions. Our neighbors challenge our taken-for-granted understandings of self, community, world, and the divine. As they settle into new societies and new spaces, everyone is confronted with the experience of welcoming one another – or not.
In this Psychological Humanities and Ethics dialogue, Hosffman Ospino focuses on key religious dimensions associated with migrant experiences through the lens of “Practical Theology” and psychological experiences associated therein. Weaving in cultural elements and expanding the bio-psychosocial models towards the spiritual, we will discuss how religious practices, rituals, and expectations often define perspectives among migrants and receiving communities. Ultimately, we will explore the need for religion to play a healthy role in the development of public discourse in societies constantly shaped and reshaped by immigrants and migrant experiences, as we hope to better welcome the stranger.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation the participant will be able to:
- Discuss the centrality of religious dimensions associated with the migrant experience.
- Define religious practices, rituals, and expectations that define interactions among migrant groups and receiving communities.
- Compare ways in which healthy understandings of religion can shape constructive public discourse about migrants and migrant experiences.
