The Religious Studies Program would like to warmly congratulate Dr. Gary Adler, Professor of Sociology here at Penn State! The article written by Josh McAuliffe announces Dr. Adler and his team’s research on the increasingly blurry separation of church and state after they were given a generous grant by the National Science Foundation.
McAuliffe writes, “Adler and his collaborators will aim to address the extent to which local government officials interact with religious issues, and how individual and contextual factors influence those interactions, particularly when the situations haven’t been dealt with before.” Dr. Adler will be among the first to study the local relationship between religion and state, and we wish him luck doing so! Great work, Dr. Adler!
