Dual Allegiances in America: Christian, Jewish & Muslim Perspectives

Feb 12, 2020 at - | Tanenbaum 145, University of Pennsylvania Law School

The Collegium Institute invites you to attend a special lunchtime event at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School exploring Dual Allegiances in America: Christian, Jewish & Muslim Perspectives. This event seeks to foster dialogue on the relationships between religious traditions and civic identity, citizenship, and the American legal tradition. It will focus on the ways in which religious communities have answered charges of civil disloyalty and how religious believers representing Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions in America have understood and shaped their overlapping, sometimes conflicting, religious and political identities. Featured panelists:Beth Wenger, Moritz and Josephine Berg Professor of History and Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, University of Pennsylvania Michael Breidenbach, Research Associate at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, University of Pennsylvania and Faculty Fellow at Collegium InstituteAdnan Zulfiqar, Assistant Professor of Law, Rutgers Law SchoolRogers Smith, Christopher H.
