The APSA Religion and Politics Section encourages the study of the interrelations between religion and politics, including the politics of religious pluralism; law, religion and governance; faith, practice and political behavior; and the politics of secularism, in the United States as well as in comparative, historical, and global perspective.
The meeting and reception were held during the APSA Annual Meeting and Exhibition, which is being held in Boston from August 30 – September 2, 2018. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Democracy and Its Discontents.”
