Speakers include Haroon Khalid, freelance journalist and author of multiple books; and Eliza Kent, professor in Religious Studies at Skidmore University. Priyadarshini Sen, independent journalist writing on religion, politics, culture, peace, and social justice, moderates the conversation. (43 min., 22 sec.)
Spotlight on Priyadarshini Sen in India
Based in New Delhi, Priyadarshini Sen’s work is focused on how religion intersects with politics, social justice, public policy, culture and social issues. She focuses especially on people living on the fringes of society and draws their concerns into the mainstream. She’s particularly interested in reporting on discrimination against sexual minorities, disenfranchisement of refugees and minority groups, religious polarization, and solidarity-building efforts during acute crises.
