Obama Institute for Transnational American Studies
Supreme Court Amendments and Evangelicals

2-4 p.m.

Philo II, Jakob-Welder-Weg 20
Please join us for our Workshop on Supreme Court Amendments and
Evangelicals.
We are happy to welcome doctoral student Alexander Brackebusch from the
University of Munich, and Associate Professor of History and Politics, Emma
Long, from the University of East Anglia. Alexander Brackebusch will
introduce us to his research, and we will facilitate a conversation between
Alexander, Emma Long, Axel Schäfer and Anja-Maria Bassimir.
Alexander Brackebusch is writing his thesis on “Morality Amendments” to
the Constitution, asking “why political actors continue to propose these
amendments despite their exceedingly low likelihood of success.” He is
especially interested in proposed amendments by actors associated with the
Christian Right.
Emma Long has worked on two main topics – the Constitution and Supreme
Court; and Evangelicals. In her forthcoming book, Lobbying for the Lord:
The National Association of Evangelicals and the Growth of Post-war
Evangelical Political Activism, Emma explores Evangelical politics in the
1940s and 50s. She has also studied Supreme Court decisions, especially in
connection with reproductive rights, as in her articles “Reproductive
Care and Justice” (2024) and “Last Word: Will Abortion Sway the 2024 US
Presidential Election?” (2024).
