Abstract: This talk explores both theological and clinical perspectives on the religious lives and practices of people with intellectual disabilities. Engaging with participatory research that centers perspectives from adults with intellectual disabilities, it will consider the importance of attending to the intersections of disability and religious identity in scholarship and clinical practice.

The Center’s Healthcare and Religion Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Palliative and Supportive Institute, the Department of Religious Studies, and the Jewish Studies Program
