 [ CAPSTONE ]

Exploiting Idolatry

Social Identity Theory and Nationalism
as seen in the Case Studies of
President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi

I had such a difficult time settling on a capstone topic! I was torn between writing about the Exclusion Act Era, the U.S. immigration system, and religious nationalism. Ultimately, I went with the religious nationalism route because it's a topic I get very fired up about. Few things are more unsettling than seeing religion used as a weapon or political tool.

At 55 pages, my capstone is fairly lengthy, so I am attaching it as a PDF below until I find a better way to display it on this website. I've also attached my slides from my capstone presentation, which provide a significantly shorter overview.
