By David Gonnerman '90
November 11, 2009

As part of St. Olaf's current academic theme of Migration, R. Steven Warner, professor of sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, plus representatives of three Minneapolis St. Paul religious communities will address "Migration, Freedom, and Religion in America" during a panel discussion Thursday.

Warner, whose books include A Church of Our Own: Disestablishment and Diversity in American Religion, has been on the forefront of scholarly attention to the effects of post-1960s immigration on the landscape of American religion. K.S.P. Kumar, Hassan Mohamud, and Lusia Cabello Hansel will speak about the effects of the American setting on their respective Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities.
