Is Politics the New Religion? with Professor Joshua Mitchell

Join us for The Atlas Society Asks Joshua Mitchell on Wednesday, March 19 @ 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. Joshua Mitchell is a professor of political theory at Georgetown University and the author of American Awakening: Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of Our Time, which explores how America’s founding ideal of civic engagement is being eroded by identity politics, social media-induced bipolarity, cultural addition to convenience–and how these challenges can be overcome. He has written extensively on Western political philosophy and theology, authoring four books, including Tocqueville in Arabia: The Anxieties of the Democratic Age and The Fragility of Freedom: Tocqueville on Religion, Democracy, and the American Future. Mitchell was also part of the team responsible for founding Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Doha, Qatar.
