INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio, we talk with Scott Burden, Graduate Assistant of the Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center at Grand Valley State University, and their upcoming Change U Activist Assembly on spiritual violence. Burden discusses how spiritual violence against LGBTQ+ individuals is manifested through systems of oppression in West Michigan, and what communities can do to create safer spaces on campuses, in institutions, and in the wider community.  

For more information or to register for this free social justice training on spiritual violence, occuring Saturday, February 13, check the Change U page over at GVSU here.
