Teaching Law & Religion (Guest: Dr Renae Barker)

Episode 5,   Aug 31, 2021, 08:00 PM

What should university students be taught about the relationship between law and religion in Australia?  How should we describe the colonial period, and what issues are most important in the present?  In this episode, Dr Renae Barker discusses the ins and outs of the special elective course on law and religion that she teaches at the University of Western Australia.

You can learn more about Renae’s book, State and Religion: The Australian Story (Routledge, 2019), on the publisher’s website page.

 Information about Renae’s teaching interests and publications can be found on her UWA Staff Page and The Conversation Profile Page.
