RELI 079 - (HP) Religion, Law, and SocietySemester Hours: 3-4
The course addresses the complex ways that religion, society, and law interact and how these interactions inform contemporary issues. Using the concept of “religious liberty” as the focal point, the course explores the contentious uses of the concept “religion” as this has played out in American history and how it continues to be challenged and politicized. While this is not a law course, the course reviews key Supreme Court decisions; examines how the Court is shaping, and being shaped by, shifting religious demographics in American society; and assesses its impact in the current political moment.
