For the past 8 years, the Undergraduate Religious Studies Association (URSA) has hosted a spring symposium. The symposium’s central aim is interdisciplinary conversation about religion. As such, undergraduate students from across the humanities—Anthropology, Area Studies, English, Comparative Literature, History, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Sociology, etc.—were welcome to participate. This year the symposium was held on Mar 31-Apr 1, with eight participants from universities across the U.S., including Harvard, Virginia, Georgetown, Oberlin, Brown and Indiana presenting. Prof. J. Kameron Carter provided the keynote address, titled “Scriptural Whiteness; or, On U.S. Political Theology.”
