Program 4:00-5:30 p.m.
Reception 5:30-6:30 p.m.

Religious Nationalism is sweeping the globe in ways that promote violence and autocratic governments. One of the leading experts in global religious nationalism, Dr. Mark Juergensmeyer, will join us for an in-depth analysis and discussion of these movements—Muslim, Christian, and Jewish—and how they compare to what has been called “Christian Nationalism” in the U.S. He will cover social, religious, and political dimensions of each movement discussed, and he will place U.S. developments within a global context.
