51-2505HN Religion and Secularism in U.S. Law and Politics: Honors

In this class, we will look at legal cases, cultural representations, and historical documents pertinent to the issue of religion and politics to understand what secularism is, in the U.S., how it has changed over time, and how it has been imagined; we will build a website narrating these developments. We will also take up what these conceptions mean for our current political landscape as well as broader theoretical questions about the relation of religion to the state. This course is part of the Honors program and requires, at a minimum, a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher to register.
