Dr. Sarah Farrell - Shattering Into a WholeDivorced: Christian Fundamentalism Sarah M. Farrell, PhD, MSW, LICSW is a researcher, academic, and clinical social worker (who sometimes fancies herself a stand-up comedian). She has over a decade of clinical practice experience with diverse clientele. Having grown up in a deeply insular religious group practicing evangelical fundamentalism, she focuses both on seeking empirical knowledge and shedding light on stories that have been held back for too long. Systemic injustice within the church is perpetuated by lack of resources and lack of access to knowledge with which to make informed choices. She seeks to do what she can to be the voice she lacked. Her research seeks to answer questions about what has happened and what can change for the better. Today, Sarah shares about growing up in an insular religious group and how she came to understand her experiences were outside the norm while attending college. Her slow but steady deconstruction was also influenced by changes in the political landscape.FIND DR.
