Young People, Faith, and Social Justice

On behalf of the Yarra Institute for Religion & Social Policy, Bruce Duncan CSsR is delighted to invite you to hear Associate Professor Kath Engebretson launch Dr Joan Daw’s book, Young People, Faith, & Social Justice

Dr Joan Daw’s research examines how young people in a number of schools and social justice organisations understand the links between faith and their sense of social responsibility and care for others. It considers how a faith narrative can help form attitudes to social concerns, and how a faith community contributes to this process. Dr Daw brings together her findings on the activities of a number of schools and social justice organisations in promoting awareness of social justice issues, the motivations involved, and practical effects. She looks at the difficulties involved, as well as at what has worked well.
