Buying out the Market: How States Co-opt Religion During Democratic Backsliding

Friday, April 25, 2025 2:00–3:00 PM

Location
Washburn Hall # 111
Description
How do government policies toward religion affect the practice of religion and its relationship with democracy? Many scholars have likened a country's religious landscape to a marketplace - government policies can create monopolies. This talk explores the role of state religious policy in democratic backsliding. Drawing on cases from Israel and Hungary, Dr. Szendro shows that both supportive and restrictive policies can isolate religious groups from the rest of civil society and make them dependent on the state.

Guys and Dolls, Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser, Book by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling
Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. "Count me squarely in the Guys and Dolls camp. If there's a flaw to be found in the 1950 'music fable of Broadway,' based on characters created by journalist/short story writer Damon Runyon, it's not in the Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows' drum-tight book. And it's certainly not in Frank Loesser's honey of a score." -New York Stage Review
