Description of this Master Class for Students
This master class for students will take place in-person in Amerikahaus and online via Zoom. Please note your prefered participation format in your registration e-mail.
It is one of the great American paradoxes: few countries have a stricter separation of church and state than the USA, yet religion pervades both public life and politics to a degree unknown in most other democracies. This talk examines the historical and political dimensions of church and state in the US, with a focus on the development and effects of religious diversity in America as well the political controversies driven by religious issues such as contraception, abortion, school prayer, teaching evolution, and same-sex marriage. Political satire helps to bring a sense of humor to these otherwise serious topics.
This lecture is free of charge. Reservations can be made via e-mail by school teachers and individual students grades 11 through 13. Please include the number of students and your school's name with your registration.
