Let's Talk about Books at NMU - Dr. R. Khari Brown from Wayne State University
Join NMU faculty Lynn Domina as she speaks to Dr. R. Khari Brown, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Wayne State University, about their new book, Race and the Power of Sermons in American Politics.
This book examines the intersection of race, political sermons, and social justice. Religious leaders and congregants who discuss and encourage others to do social justice embrace a form of civil religion that falls close to the covenantal wing of American civil religious thought. Relying on 44 national and regional surveys conducted between 1941 and 2019, Race and the Power of Sermons on American Politics explores how racial experiences impact the degree to which religion informs social justice attitudes and political behavior. This is the most comprehensive set of analyses of publicly available survey data on this topic.
You are invited to watch NMU's Lynn Domina speak to Dr. R. Khari Brown on Friday, January 20th at 1:00pm Eastern time.
Registration is required but easy and free.
This webinar is part of a continuing series called "Let's Talk about Books at NMU".
