\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — March 3, 2005 — Evelyn Sterne of Newport, an assistant professor of history at the 溏心vlog免费B站, has been chosen to participate in the prestigious and competitive Young Scholars in American Religion Program.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe program is overseen by the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis with support from the Lilly Endowment. The Center is a research and public outreach institute devoted to promoting the understanding of the relationship between religion and other features of American culture.<\/p>\n


\n\tAccording to the Center, many leading academics studying North American religions are graduates of the Young Scholar program.<\/p>\n


\n\tNo doubt, the selection committee was impressed by Sterne\u2019s 2003 book, Ballots and Bibles: Ethnic Politics and the Catholic Church in Providence. In the book, Sterne argues that the church, often regulated to the sidelines of history, actually served as a launching pad for political activism by its rank and file members in the early 20th century. <\/p>\n


\n\tAs a young scholar, Sterne will attend four seminars at the Center in Indianapolis during the next two years, her travel and lodging expenses covered by the fellowship. Top scholars in the field\u2014John Corrigan of Florida State University and Judith Weisenfeld of Vassar College-will moderate the seminars. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for the young scholars to share feedback about their teaching and current research. <\/p>\n


\n\tSterne will share her experiences teaching a course she introduced this past fall at 溏心vlog免费B站 on the history of American religion. The course, which will be offered again in the fall 2006, explores the diversity of American religious traditions from the Colonial era to the present. \u201cThe course could be taught in a variety of ways,\u201d the 溏心vlog免费B站 professor says. \u201cThis course reflects my interests: religion and immigration and the intersection of religion and politics are the major themes.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
