About this Event
Christian Nationalism — an ideology and movement advocating a fusion of Christian symbols with American civic life — has risen to prominence over the past several years, with real-world implications for politics and policy.
This conference will bring together leading experts to discuss and reflect upon this ideology within American religious and political life. Experts will explore the following questions: Why does it exist? What are its origins? Is it most closely related to race or religion? What implications will it have on local and national politics and policies?
This event is co-sponsored by the Religion and Public Policy program at the Baker Institute and the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance, a premier interdisciplinary research and scholarly institute that aims to understand the conditions which lead to religious pluralism, tolerance, intolerance, conflict, and discrimination, and then help people apply its findings in their lives and communities.
All who pre-register will receive a free, signed copy of the brand-new book, “The Religion of Whiteness” (Oxford University Press, 2024) by Michael Emerson, director of the Baker Institute Religion and Public Policy program, and Villanova scholar Glenn Bracey.
This event is free, but registration is required.
