They both support students who share their own spiritual beliefs and traditions, yet Megan, as a Christian and Patty as a Muslim do not share the same religious beliefs. As you will hear in the conversation, they share space, both housing their religious communities within the same space over at the Christian Association. This shared space has fostered a friendship where they have come to many profound realizations. One of them is that they actually have similar roles in students’ lives. Because of this Patty and Megan are able to support each other as they have very proximate knowledge about what it means to be women religious leaders serving students at Penn.

Olivares, deputy legal director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Immigrant Justice Project full 4 1 Host Lia Howard talks with Efrén Olivares about his work at the Southern Poverty Law Center and his stunning book, "My Son Will Die of Sorrow, a memoir of immigration from the front lines". In it, Efrén weaves together his experience as a human rights lawyer working for the Texas Civil Rights Project in 2018, when the Trump administration instituted the zero tolerance policy and began to separate families at the border with his own story as an immigrant to the U.S.. Efrén shares his career journey towards social justice work and opens up about the necessary shift in mind-set to make the challenging work sustainable.


This is the first conversation in the new series of The PARK featuring Penn alumni working to change some of America's most intractable social problems. We ask them how are they taking care of themselves so that they can sustain their fight on behalf of others. It examines the intellectual, social and contemplative practices that leaders in the arena of social change are embracing to inform their work, offering examples and real world experiences. This series speaks to current Penn undergrads, hoping to better undergird their own social action with integrative and sustaining practices.

To shape our thinking here we are using the definition of a community of practice created by the non-profit Campus Compact: Community of Practice “is a learning community, or collegial network, defined as ‘a group of people who share interest in an area of inquiry and engage in collective learning about that issue as it relates to their work or practice. Through discussions, joint activities, and relationship building, the community of practice develops a shared and individual repertoire of resources, skills, and knowledge to use in their practice.”
