Body and Resistance

Is the body something you have, or something you are? In this episode of Theological Per/Versions, doctoral candidate Immanuel Karunakaran leads Lis Valle- Ruiz, Chrisida Anandan, and Seyo Oh into the body as a site of resistance and love. They move from colorism and beauty standards — the childhood nicknames, the "why was I born dark?" — to the body as the image of God, the resurrection of the body (not just the soul), and what it means to love yourself, your neighbor, and even your enemy in the flesh. Part conversation, part embodied practice. Come ready to hug yourself.
