Join the Center for the Study of Law and Religion and the Center for International and Comparative Law on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 4:00–5:15 p.m. in Gambrell Hall, Hunter Atrium, for a lecture by Professor Joseph David (Sapir College).

David will discuss how western civilization has traditionally positioned law and religion as its foundational pillars—two distinct yet intertwined sources of meaning and social order. Technology, by contrast, has been relegated to a subordinate role, viewed primarily through its instrumental effects on societal development. This approach has fostered a perception of delicate equilibria among these domains, notwithstanding periodic tensions and confrontations.

The lecture will challenge this conventional narrative by scrutinizing the unprecedented convergence of law, religion, and data-driven technologies. It poses an essential inquiry: In what ways does the advent of data science destabilize or render obsolete the historical balances between law, religion, and technology?

Join the community for a discussion with Carrie N. Baker, J.D., Ph.D., on her latest book, Abortion Pills: US History and Politics.
