Religion and Populism (Co-sponsored by Political Sociology Section)

Sun, August 9, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

Rising populism, particularly on the Right, involves many people hearkening back to a nostalgic, imagined past. Alongside this has been a resurgence of Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and other forms of religious nationalism. This session examines several relationships and overlaps between populism and religion in the United States, comparatively, and in other nations. Papers analyze the relationship to religious worship attendance, between populism and antisemitism, how it has inspired a 'parallel economy' movement, media forms and ideological dispersion. A common theme forms around how these forms of populism and religion, especially religious nationalism, imagine the past and the future of the ideal nation.
