People

The Program on Church, State & Society brings together faculty from several interrelated departments across the university, including Theology, Philosophy, History, and Political Science, to promote research and facilitate diverse and thought provoking discussions on timely law and religious topics and issues.  Notre Dame faculty are frequently interviewed by the national media and invited to share analysis and commentary about the role of religion in politics and our society.
