Ghosts and Shadows: Systemic Inheritance(s) with Dr. Chelle Stearns

text.soul.culture: a podcast from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology

In this season as The Seattle School has been looking back at the first 25 years, Dr. Paul Hoard and Dr. Doug Shirley have been exploring what it means to live with the legacies and histories in our community, as well as how to engage with these proverbial ghosts and shadows—what they think about systemic inheritances. Together in this series titled “Ghosts and Shadows,” they’ve examined the past and looked towards the future through three essays posted on our website, and they also invited colleagues to join in the conversation and share their reflections in a series of podcasts.

Dr. Chelle Stearns joined her former colleagues for this conversation on "Ghosts and Shadows." She taught at The Seattle School from 2008-2023 as Associate Professor of Theology and now serves as Affiliate Faculty. Listen to the wisdom, experience, and theological imagination she brings to this exploration.
