Santiago Slabodsky is an Argentinean-born ethicist trained in rabbinical and liberationist philosophies. His teaching and research focus on global ethics, social theodicies, racial theories, post-colonialism and Jewish studies. He is also an expert on Third World religious movements, especially in Latin America, the Caribbean and the Maghreb.
He also has experience as a religious leader and social activist in Latin America. Having received theological education at a rabbinical school in Argentina, Slabodsky served for three years as head of Beit-Israel, a working-class congregation in Buenos Aires. He directed educational programs in Jewish studies and combined his religious convictions with social action by creating a Christian-Muslim-Jewish network in the city.
