\n Carleton Experts Available: Quebec Secularism Legislation\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Following the tabling of Quebec\u2019s secularism bill, Carleton experts are available to comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dick\u2019s research looks at the relationship between religion, media and public policy. She is currently working on a project on Christian liberalism, a concept she developed in order to understand the historical dominance of Christianity in different liberal democratic contexts. Christian liberalism can be seen in political and legal discourses, which have allowed various iterations of Christianity to be rendered invisible cultural defaults while the expressions of minority groups are rendered exceptional or requiring liberal toleration. Case studies include attempts by politicians in Quebec to ban full-face coverings from public-service sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMelanie Adrian<\/strong>
\nAssociate Professor, Department of Law and Legal Studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phone<\/strong>: 613-520-2600, ext. 2085
\nEmail<\/strong>:  Melanie.Adrian@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adrian\u2019s <\/strong>research focuses on the question of rights of minorities in religiously, ethnically and culturally diverse societies. She examines how states integrate or accommodate culturally distinct peoples while maintaining a healthy balance between international and national rights and respect for national values. Most recently, she has looked at these questions in light of the debate around religious symbols in public schools in France. Her forthcoming book Risking Religious Freedom: France, the Veil and the Right to Act on Faith<\/em> argues that France, and Europe more generally, are heading down a dangerous path in their reluctance to live up to the spirit of international human rights conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
