The Goodspeed Lecture welcomes Andrew Lewis, assistant professor of political science at the University of Cincinnati, presenting “The Rights Turn in Conservative Christian Politics: How Abortion Transformed the Culture Wars.” Lewis researches the intersection of politics, religion, and law in America, with an expertise in Evangelicals and politics, church-state relations, conservative legal activism, and rights politics and his research engages with the themes of representation and American constitutionalism, through a variety of lenses.
Lewis’ book “The Rights Turn in Conservative Christian Politics: How Abortion Transformed the Culture Wars” documents the rise of rights politics within conservative Christian politics and the important role that the pro-life movement has played in that process.
