Rev. Dr Yara González-Justiniano is assistant professor of Religion, Psychology, and Culture with emphasis on Latinx Studies at Vanderbilt University. She is a practical theologian and minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. Her most recent book, Centering Hope as a Sustainable Decolonial Practice: Esperanza en Práctica (2022), is restless with answering the question of what hope looks like amid socioeconomic crisis. Her interdisciplinary approach to this inquiry grounds itself in ethnographic research in hopes of finding practices that enable a hope that can sustain the collective.
