My research explores the complex relationship between religion, law, and political polarization in contemporary American society. I examine how religious liberty issues have become increasingly partisan and how this affects legal, political, and social discourse. My work spans various approaches, including analysis of legal narratives, rhetorical strategies, and the use of social psychology insights in constitutional interpretation. I investigate how courts, particularly the Supreme Court, navigate contentious religious freedom cases and how their decisions impact public understanding and acceptance. Through this multifaceted approach, my scholarship and public engagement aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of religion in our polarized political landscape and to explore potential paths toward more constructive dialogue on these critical issues.
