Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This class examines the ways in which we can think about the relationship between modern states and religion. How do authoritarian states, in contradistinction with democratic regimes, define secularism as well as "religion"? What does the history of the modern state owe to religion? Do religious institutional forms matter in terms of understanding the interaction - or lack thereof - of religion with the state?
