Vincent Phillip Munoz, Tocqueville Associate Professor of Religion and Public Life in the Department of Political Science and Concurrent Associate Professor of Law at The University of Notre Dame, gives a talk to undergraduates entitled "Did America's Founding Fathers Intend to Separate Church from State?" (September 9, 2015).

Dr. Muñoz writes and teaches across the fields of political philosophy, constitutional studies, and American politics. His recent research has focused on the theme of religious liberty and the American Constitution. His first book, "God and the Founders: Madison, Washington, and Jefferson" (Cambridge University Press, 2009), won the Hubert Morken Award from the American Political Science Association for the best publication on religion and politics in 2009 and 2010. His First Amendment church-state casebook, "Religious Liberty and the American Supreme Court: The Essential Cases and Documents," was published in 2013 and is being used at Notre Dame and other leading universities.

The Emory Williams Lecture Series in the Liberal Arts has been made possible by a generous gift from Mr. Emory Williams (Emory College '32 and Trustee Emeritus, Emory University).
