Author | Professor - The Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University
George Yancey (PhD, University of Texas) is a professor at the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University, specializing in race/ethnicity and religion. He works to promote collaborative communication as a solution to racial unrest. He is the author, coauthor, or coeditor of books such as Compromising Scholarship: Religious and Political Bias in American Higher Education, One Faith No Longer: The Transformation of Christianity in Red and Blue America, There Is No God: Atheists in America, Hostile Environment: Understanding and Responding to Anti-Christian Bias, Beyond Racial Gridlock, Beyond Racial Division and Transcending Racial Barriers.
Beyond Racial Division: A Unifying Alternative to Colorblindness and Antiracism
Efforts at colorblindness and antiracism have not been very effective in addressing racial tensions in the United States. Colorblindness ignores the realities of race and the history of injustice. On the other hand, antiracism centers racial concerns and in so doing often alienates people who need to be involved in the process. Sociologist George Yancey offers an alternative approach to racial relations where all parties contribute and are mutually accountable to one another for societal well-being. He provides empirical rationale for how collaborative conversations in a mutual accountability model can reduce racial division. History and societal complexity mean that different participants may have different kinds of responsibility, but all are involved in seeking the common good for all to thrive. Avoiding unilateral decisions that close off dialogue, Yancey casts a vision for moving beyond racial alienation toward a lifestyle and movement of collaborative conversation and mutuality.
RN | Speaker | Community Outreach Director - Susan B. Anthony List
Jill Stanek’s commitment to Christ led her to risk her job, reputation, and friendships to stop the terrible practices of abortion and infanticide.
Jill was a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Illinois when she made the shocking discovery that babies were being aborted alive and allowed to die without medical care.
Jill went public and has since become a national figure in the effort to protect both born and pre-born infants.
In January 2003, Jill was named by World Magazine as one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders in the movement over the past 30 years.
In July 2015, Jill joined Susan B. Anthony List and now serves as Community Outreach Director for SBA’s project PLAN, the Pregnancy and Life Assistance Network. Her PLAN is helping prepare states to safeguard pregnant mothers and babies in a post-Roe America.
Jill is a member of Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park, Illinois. She has been wife to Rich for 40 years; mother to three married children; and grandmother to 13 grandsons and one granddaughter! She has addressed many groups at the local, national, and international levels sharing her testimony and giving an insider’s view to the atrocity of abortion.
