The 2025 Scott Symposium: Christian Nationalism
Christian nationalists insist that the US was founded by and for Christians. As a resurgent populist movement in contemporary American politics, Christian nationalism aims to establish the legal, moral, and cultural dominance of an ultra-conservative, exclusivist interpretation of the religion, and it views diversity and pluralism as existential threats to that objective. This year’s Scott Lecture Series, sponsored by the Religion Department, will invite a range of scholars to help us understand this movement, its roots, its adherents, and the consequences it poses to American public life.
