Understanding the World's Religious, Political Clashes

posted on: Feb 11, 2015

The rise of ISIS, Syrian airstrikes and the continued conflict between Israel and Palestine raise important questions about the contemporary global resurgence of religion in the public sphere, which has important implications for immigration, secularism, freedom, and issues related to race/ethnicity, gender and sexuality. 
To explore such issues, the University of Arizona’s Religion, Secularism and Political Belonging Project, or RelSec, is hosting public talks with three internationally distinguished scholars. Collectively, the scholars are experts in freedom and personal agency in the modern world, political and religious conflicts, and the Asian American religious experience, among other topics.
