On May 9, Call To Action will host Indigenous writer and activist Sarah Augustine, author of The Land is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery. Augustine will present on topics related to her critically acclaimed book and Indigenous organizing.

In The Land is Not Empty, Augustine, who is descended from the Pueblo people, breaks down the Doctrine of Discovery—legal principles and church decrees that granted Christian settlers and governments supremacy over the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and their land. Augustine investigates the legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery and reveals how it still impacts Indigenous peoples and cultures today. These principles, too, continue to affect our physical environment.

In this online presentation, Dr. Jill Plummer will explore the formation of Catholic feminist identity during the post-Vatican II era through examining the work and legacy of women’s ordination and education advocate Sister Betty Carroll, RSM.

The reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) ushered in an era of possibility for Catholics worldwide—but not without its challenges. Women religious and lay Catholic women led many of the progressive movements advocating for reform within the church. Among these reforms were broadening the role and education of women religious; a fuller understanding of gender, inclusivity, and feminism; and the ordination of women to the priesthood. The story of Sister Betty Carroll, RSM is just one part of this story.
