Crime, Morality, and Bioethics in America: The Religious Right and the ‘2018Culture Wars’

August 12, 2010

This presentation will draw from a larger project: ‘After the Culture War? America in the Obama Era’, which examines the competing themes of normalisation of the ‘core’ culture war issues (abortion, same-sex marriage, aid-in-dying, stem cell research) against the contemporary backlash and resistance,including, but not limited to, the ‘tea party’ phenomenon. The resulting book will provide an assessment of the status of social and religious conservatism in America, and a measure of the vitality of the culture wars. (Ethics & Health Law News)
