Courses Undergraduate Minor Colloquium Fellowships Undergraduate Minor The religion and politics minor provides an opportunity for sustained exploration of the ways in which religion and politics have intersected in American culture, in both historical and contemporary terms. Students participate in small classes as part of the Religion and Politics minor. As part of the minor in religion and politics program, students may examine any number of issues, including church-state relations, religion’s role in shaping gender and sexuality debates, religion and electoral politics, public conflicts over the nexus of religion and science, and religion’s entwining with reform movements (from abolition to environmentalism). The Center’s interdisciplinary minor attracts students from many disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities; whether pre-med, pre-law, or pursuing futures in education, business, or the arts, they report their studies are enriched by our curriculum. You may declare your Religion and Politics minor by logging into WebSTAC and following the instructions, and then meeting with the Center’s Director of Undergraduate Studies (a rotating role), who will serve as the students’ minor advisor. In 2021-2022, this is Professor Leigh Eric Schmidt, who can be reached at [email protected].
