Ruth Morgan, an undergraduate student at Georgetown University studying healthcare management and policy, features on this podcast episode.

Kim moderated a panel at the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, where Ruth offered deeply engaging insights along with a couple racial justice veterans who are well-known in Catholic circles. That breakout session was titled: “Walking by Faith, Fighting for Racial Justice: Voices for Our Time.”The conversation with Ruth gives a glimpse of her work and career trajectory, in which she explores social justice through the lens of racial justice and health equity, grounded in the Jesuit value of being people for others.Read about the IFTJ breakout session Ruth and Kim were a part of at IFTJ.Read a feature piece that Georgetown University did on Ruth.Check out some of the fascinating webinar conversations the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life has organized recently.Facilitate deeper engagement with this episode using this free discussion guide resource from Education for Justice.
