In her lecture, Prof. Marcia Pally will look at present evangelicalism as it affects US domestic and foreign policy and importantly, at how populism works and the history, religion tenets, and present conditions that brought white evangelicals to embrace the populist right. These are what gives populism its persuasiveness and bite.
