RT Article T1 A Way Forward: Nurturing the Imagination at the Intersection of Race, Class, Gender, and Age JF Religious education VO 111 IS 4 SP 415 OP 429 A1 Lockhart-Gilroy, Annie A. LA English YR 2016 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/166374307X AB Those who are oppressed often find themselves internalizing voices that limit their ability. This article focuses on a population that falls on the non-hegemonic side of the intersection of race, class, gender, and age: Black girls from poor and working-class backgrounds. From my work with youth, I have noticed that internalizing these limiting voices lead to a sense of personal hopelessness. I suggest that Christian educators combat personal hopelessness by nurturing the theological imagination of their youth. DO 10.1080/00344087.2016.1185769
