”Healing, Empathy, and Religious Accommodation” with Dr. Kristy Nabhan-Warren

Featuring Dr. Kristy Nabhan-Warren, Professor of Catholic Studies, University of Iowa

Dr. Kristy Nabhan-Warren of the University of Iowa talks about what she learned when researching her forthcoming book, Meatpacking America: How Migration, Work, and Faith Unite and Divide the Heartland (UNC Press). She shares why religious accommodation is important, tells stories about how meatpacking workers bring their faith to their jobs, and ties her conclusions to the healing and empathy needed to move forward in the American public.
