LevinsonFest on Wrestling with Religious Diversity
Guest Blogger
Ashley Moran
We’re pleased to share a fascinating
and timely set of essays from our recent LevinsonFest 2022 panel, exploring
constitutional challenges related to religion in plural societies.
The roundtable includes essays from
John Adenitire (Queen Mary, University of London) on whether the law
should recognize religion as a unique category, Douglas Laycock
(University of Virginia) on friendship, tolerance, and religious liberty, Carol
Nackenoff (Swarthmore College) on religious liberty at the intersection of
the Establishment and Free Exercise clauses, Jaclyn Neo (National
University of Singapore) on whether state neutrality toward religion can hold
amid increasing religious diversification, Intisar Rabb (Harvard
University) on pluralistic legal interpretation amid multiple constitutional
faiths, Mark Scarberry (Pepperdine University) on whether minority
faiths have fostered American unity, and Nomi Stolzenberg (University of
Southern California) on bridging the divide between secularists and anti-secularists.
A response from Sandy Levinson
(University of Texas at Austin) addresses all of these themes in assessing the
relationship between law and religion over the last forty years.
The event discussion also
included remarks from Sally Barringer Gordon (University of
Pennsylvania), tracing the legal battles that shaped postwar Black spiritual
life, and is available on the panel webpage. We hope
you enjoy the discussions!
