Global Populism: Its roots in media and religion

Kalorama Room, Washington Hilton, Lobby Level
Friday, May 24, 2019

The persistent power of religion to mobilize new populism has confounded 
expectations that religion would fade in significance as we moved 
further into the new century. Among the most vexing—and least 
understood—questions are those surrounding the role of religion in these 
developments and how media and systems of mediation—particularly digital 
mediation—make religion’s new participation possible.  Scholars of media 
have a special interest and expertise in addressing phenomena such as 
this, yet the field often struggles to incorporate serious scholarship 
of religion into its work. This pre-conference is intended to begin a 
conversation about this lacuna even as it addresses its overall theme.
