WCC; 1010 Classroom
In the leadup to the 2024 election and in the wake of international flashpoints that regularly make the intersection of religion and politics increasingly salient, this event will bring together academic and public-service practitioners to discuss religion’s perennially evolving role in the public domain. Specifically, panelists will discuss the extent to which faith should have a presence in politics, if at all, and, more importantly, how voters, believers, and non-believers should process and respond to politico-religious events, especially amid our current season of partisanship, activism, and elections.
