When it comes to religion and politics in contemporary America, most of the attention is devoted to white Christians, particularly evangelicals. Drawing on insights from both the humanities and social sciences, this seminar shifts the lens to illuminate how African Americans experience and engage religion and politics.

This seminar will explore the overlapping intellectual goals of comparative religious ethics and global or comparatively oriented political theory, much of which is based in religious thinking about politics and justice. These two fields are both combinations of descriptive and normative analysis, frequently drawing on religious as well as philosophical thinking about fundamental issues of human social order.
Aaron Stalnaker; Religious Studies; College of Arts and Sciences; Bloomington; astalnak@indiana.edu
Hussein Banai; International Studies; School of Global International Studies; Bloomington; hbanai@indiana.edu
This seminar investigates how religious ideas have shaped attitudes to the natural environment by focusing on the Mounds of the Midwest. It will examine the meanings and burial practices of the early Native American peoples, highlight the history of these indigenous groups, and explore the multiple meanings of the Mounds today as revealed in contemporary governmental policies and the American public educational system. The goal is to create critical conversation around environmental ethics and the complex intersections of state power and religion.
