Thomas Merton’s Letters to a White Liberal,
In a Queer Key

Craig A. Ford, Jr., is a moral theologian at St. Norbert College, and writes at the intersection of the Catholic moral tradition, queer theory and critical race theory. A scholar-activist, Professor Ford is a sought-out speaker for sexuality and racial justice workshops and seminars, and his current book project seeks to articulate a new theology of sex and gender for the Roman Catholic tradition.

In this lecture, Dr. Ford seeks to place Merton's work into a deeper conversation with anti-racist work and, as the Church confronts the forces of homophobia and transphobia in our day, Dr. Ford will place Merton's work in dialogue with black queer voices past and present.
