Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity

This document summarizes key points from a talk on spirituality, identity, and social justice. It discusses how identities are complex and intersectional. It argues for moving beyond an isolated view of self towards an interdependent model of connectedness. It explores how existential and social suffering are interrelated, and how spiritual development involves working for social transformation and justice. It examines the social construction of racial categories and how race operates as a fluid social space rather than fixed biology.
