Religious Populisms, Right and Left, in Europe and the Americas
Jose Casanova
The Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life presents the Populism and Religion lecture series from Jose Casanova (Professor in the Departments of Sociology and Theology at Georgetown University).
A note from Jean Cohen, project organizer:
Everyone seems to be writing on populism these days, which is unsurprising given the global rise of populist movements, parties, and leaders. But the relationship of populism to religion remains understudied. In response, IRCPL has organized a three-part speaker series on Populism and Religion. With this series, we aim to illuminate the broad yet distinctive nature of populism(s) by analyzing their region-specific histories, the religious posturing of populist groups on both sides of the political spectrum, and the unique rhetorics used by populist movements to appeal to the general public.
