PO 298 - Honors Seminar: Citizens and Believers

Institution:

Boston College

Subject:

Description:

This seminar examines the political implications of religious affiliation in Western democratic states. We will focus on European experiences of emancipation, integration, and assimilation, and we will explore the institutional processes that accompany state secularization or the recognition of minority religions. What are the expectations of majority societies? What do minority communities seek from political institutions? How do these processes impact the way religions are practiced, and how do religious communities influence the conduct of national politics?
