description
This project expanded my studies of religion to consider the ways in which religious communities are included or excluded from American public life. As a religious studies major I have spent a lot of time considering the different religious traditions around the world and how they each have occupied and traversed the globe, specifically spending a lot of my studies learning about religion in the history and public sphere of Asia, but I have spent very little time studying religion in America. This project gave me the opportunity to unpack the ways that religion exists in American public life and allowed me to examine the ways in which dominant publics in the U.S, like the secular and liberal public we participate in at Grinnell College, create conditional participation for certain identities like Muslim Americans.
