Noah Feldman, author of the New York Times best-seller Divided by God: America's Church-State Problem and What We Should Do About It, will deliver a public address as part of the New Hampshire Humanities Council's Shifting Ground: Religion and Civic Life in America project. This is the culminating event in this two-year project which explored the intersections between religion and public life in America.
Feldman's newest book is The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State. He is a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and a contributing editor for the New York Times Magazine. He is also an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Before joining the Harvard faculty, Feldman was Cecelia Goetz Professor of Law at New York University School of Law. He was named a Carnegie Scholar in 2005. In 2004 he was a visiting professor at Yale Law School and a fellow of the Whitney Humanities Center. In 2003 he served as senior constitutional advisor to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, and subsequently advised members of the Iraqi Governing Council on the drafting of the Transitional Administrative Law or interim constitution.
He is also the author of What We Owe Iraq: War and the Ethics of Nation Building and After Jihad: America and the Struggle for Islamic Democracy.

The New Hampshire Humanities Council is a private non-profit organization that strengthens New Hampshire by providing free public humanities programs in its communities. While the Humanities Council's mission is specific to New Hampshire, we are not part of the state government. We are part of a national network of Humanities Councils affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities. We rely on individual, corporate, and foundation support for our diverse programs, which foster reflection, discussion, and civil debate where people live, work, study, and play.
