Event

The Scopes Trial of 1925 was an inflection point in US conversations around religion, science, education, and mass media. A century later, core issues surfaced by the Scopes Trial are still with us—disputes about school curricula, the trustworthiness of bioscience, and secularism— making the Scopes Trial look like an early salvo in our ongoing culture wars.

This 1.5–day workshop at the University of Pennsylvania will feature some of the most cutting-edge scholars linking the Scopes Trial to our present moment one hundred years later.
