17-18/07/2021 - Religion and Politics in the United States - International Conference

GIRES, the Global Institute for Research, Education & Scholarship and the “Greenwood”African American Studies Center (GAASC)'' create a welcoming space for discussion and exploration of the complicated relations between religion and politics in the United States.
“The United States is both remarkably religious and remarkably secular”. Although the US is a pluralist democracy, known for its multicultural identity, the role of religion has been crucial in the formation of the nation’s identity and history, proving that the relationship between religion and politics is extremely complex and delicate.

The new international conference seeks to bring together scholars from different countries who research a variety of topics related to the interactions between religion and politics in the United States from various perspectives. We define the terms “religion” and “politics” broadly and welcome all topics related to the way religion shapes politics or politics shapes religion. We want to examine how the two conflict, collaborate, or otherwise influence each other. The conference will explore the intersections between religion and politics in both historical and contemporary contexts.

Deadline for Proposals: 10 May 2021
