Papers by Dr. David M. Kirkham, Senior Fellow for Comparative Law and International Policy at the International Center for Law and Religion Studies, and Professor Brett G. Scharffs, Center Associate Director, appear as chapters in Freedom of Religion under Bills of Rights, published January 2012 by the University of Adelaide Press.

Dr. Kirkham’s chapter is titled “Political Culture and Freedom of Conscience: A Case Study of Austria.” Professor Scharffs contributed “Protecting Religious Freedom: Two Counterintuitive Dialectics in US Free Exercise Jurisprudence.” The papers were originally delivered as part of a Center co-sponsored conference “Cultural and Religious Freedom under a Bill of Rights,” held at the old Parliament House in Canberra, Australia in August 2009.  Center Director Cole Durham also participated in the conference.
