PSC 239 - Religion, Law, and Politics in America (4 Cr.)

(RLG 239)
This course will cover the roots of the American separation of church and state, its practical application in the courts and in public policy, and some of the trends and evolutions of this understanding resulting from changing aspects of the American political, social, and religious landscape. Students will examine the importance of racial and religious privilege in shaping not only the laws and policies but the paradigms of American identity. Fall 2018 and alternate years thereafter.
