Born Stroppy: Make change Happen
Ruth Weston, a Liberation Theologian and practitioner, an alumni of the book writing club and a graduate of the UTU study year in 1994 will have her book published early next year. Born Stroppy, in the tradition of Liberating Theologies, is the second step: she writes up and reflects on her experience as an activist in maternity care. She tells the story of her activism from the moment of conscientization, through years of activism, to burnout and out the other side. Alongside the story there are strategies, tactics, good basic advice that any campaigner or activist might need to know. She also reflects deeply on what it means practically and spiritually to seek structural change in a system. Challenging and inspiring, Ruth will give a taster of her work and invite questions and discussion on How we can Make Change Happen
Rob Hoch-Yidokodiltona
