“…MPSM seeks to create porosity in the self-worth of Adivasis so that their feelings of being social inferiors are diffused, through micro-geographies of inclusion (Parr, 2000), even though this notion may be buttressed by an extensive catalogue of exclusion which accompanies Adivasis, often through generations (Pio, 2020; Banerjee, 2016; Dasgupta, 2016). The data indicate how accompanying the inclusive subject translates as focusing on the marginalised and their inclusion through interpretive frames of action, to reduce and disrupt oppression and create comprehensive liberation (Petrella, 2017; Prevot, 2017; Rieger, 2017). For example, gender is foregrounded in the boarding for girls, and self-help groups for women which include a range of issues (Hopkins et al, 2018) such as health, education, herbal remedies, leadership and language.…”

“…Contemplative action has ensured that Adivasi teachers, managers and leaders are trained with the LT belief that they are crucial in fostering spaces for different voices for cultures of inclusion (Tyler, 2019). Thus, the undercover liberation theologian who does not proselytise but works to build a just society of social possibility (Correia-Afonso, 1997; Friedrich, 2017; Petrella, 2017; Prevot, 2017) is personified by MPSM. The manifestation of contemplative action is in peoples’ daily actions/needs/relationships with each other and the environment (Brewis, 2018; Lerner et al, 2009).…”

“…Liberation theology (LT) is generally attributed to Latin American Catholic theologians in the 1960s (Breton, 2008; Prevot, 2017). LT encouraged entanglement of politics, engagement with social action and socioeconomic delivery structures, so that the marginalised are included in community life.…”

“…Prevot (2017) in explicating LT notes that ‘theology is at its most theological when it is formed in the context of a ‘spirituality’, that is, when it expresses a way of life in which the infinite, incomparable freedom of the living God interacts with and transforms the finite freedom of creaturely existence’ (p. 310). This reconceptualisation of theology as requiring reflection on praxis and the historical legacy of labels and structures provided new interpretive frames for action, encounters and options for the poor (Lamola, 2018).…”

Geographies of inclusion have largely been ignored in Management & Organization Studies (MOS), which tend to be encased within global white Western power over knowledge production. In this paper, I contribute to how non-Western contexts can serve as a counterpoint, yet avoid sharp dichotomies, concerning hegemonic Western discourse in geographies of inclusion. Through ethnography, I seek to provide some answers to the question: How does inclusion happen and how can it be theorised in non-Western contexts. Two central ideas of the paper are: 1. MOS can and should learn from non-Western contexts. Indigenous inclusion, specifically linked to Adivasis in India, illustrates how geographical contexts matter for theorising inclusion which can be enriched by examining non-Western contexts; and 2. Liberation theology through discernment and contemplative action, can provide insights and probe the possibilities of the nature of inclusion. I make no claim to a sole interpretation, rather I offer a guiding framework, grounded in an empirical contribution, for a nuanced understanding of Indigenous inclusion. My poignant hope is to invite other adaptations and traditions to further enrich and unveil understandings of geographies of inclusion for MOS.

“…In the scenario of the double and ambiguous character of human relationships (grace -sin), and particularly before the ideological character present in the institutional and structural relationships, a first development of a theology of human praxis could be the process of discernment of these relationships from the particular perspective of an antiidolatrous theology. The hermeneutical orientation of this theology focuses on the discernment and distinction between idols of death and God of life (Ellacuría & Sobrino 1990;Hinkelammert 1981;Prevot 2017). Idolatry implies both the manipulation of the true God for the benefits of particular groups of people, and the displacement of God by other gods, created by human beings, whereas the discernment of God of life is related to the reproduction of the life of the needy (Richard 1990:206-213) and the vindication of the racially marginalised of the society.…”

Towards a theology of human praxis: A proposal from liberation theologies in a neoliberal world

Neoliberalism is an anti-utopian and kind of patron–client theory that threatens not only the human utopian thought, and therefore the human praxis, but also the ‘conditio humana’. Therefore, this threat also challenges the current visions of praxis in contextual theologies. From a dialogue between the traditions of praxis present in Latin American liberation theology and black liberation theology, particularly from a renewed understanding of human relationships in terms of God’s grace and human spirituality-kenosis, it could be possible to overcome the ideological character of neoliberalism by offering some elements for the development of a human praxis oriented to the creation of possible worlds that reproduce the natural circuit of life and acknowledge the rising and dignity of the new subjects.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The critical analysis of the ideological character of neoliberalism implies an interdisciplinary approach that considers the contribution of Christian theology. From the inductive orientation of Latin American liberation theology and black liberation theology, this research proposes some theological elements to discuss the feasibility of a human praxis that orients the creation of possible worlds.

This study seeks to explore, understand, and develop a comprehensive application of Ignatian principles into academic emergency and disaster management programs. The research focuses on relevant work discussing Ignatian principles, Ignatian pedagogy, and emergency management training and education. This exploratory and novelistic research approach utilizes document analysis as the strategy for inquiry on how Ignatian principles and pedagogy interact with emergency and disaster management. The document analysis conducted presented limitations due to constraints in the amount of literature available. The study is original; no direct research associating the fields involved is available. The research identified the use of Ignatian principles in several professional disciplines. There is a focus on the application of a modern version of the spiritual exercises, discernment, reflection, and contemplation as tools for improvement of critical thinking, academic excellence, ethics, social analysis, and justice as they apply to emergency and disaster management.
