Keller Center Conference: "Does Religion Still Matter in the Age of Trump?"
Date: July 31st, 2020
Time:听8:45-11:00 am; 12:00-2:15 pm (Mountain Time)
Join us (by Zoom) for discussions that day.
This听1-day听conference will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars (political science, sociology, and history), leveraging different angles and methodological approaches.听听Some of the questions that will be discussed:
- The听Trump听era raises the perennial question about听religious听authority. Can听religious听elites --听the primary interpreters of the faith -- convince adherents to change their ways and attitudes? Can they effectively encourage believers to hold consistent principles?
- Have听religious听elites maintained independence from political elites and groups?
- Whether true or not, believers perceive considerable threats to themselves and their group(s). Is听religion听important in defining and amplifying those threats, and in providing protection against them?
- Is听religion听an effective advocate to decision makers when it comes to听religious听principles and听religious听peoples?
- Are听religious听institutions still providing civic benefits to those involved in them?听
