Lecture tomorrow evening 17.45 - 19.15 at Melbourne University by Dr. David Miller (Professor of Political Theory in the University of Oxford, and an Official Fellow of Nuffield College) This lecture examines the issues that are raised when democratic majorities take decisions that impose restrictions on religious minorities. Sometimes the problem can be avoided through ‘the strategy of privatisation’, but not when the issue is the character of public space. As a challenging case, this presentation considers the Swiss referendum decision to ban any future construction of Islamic minarets. events.unimelb.edu.au/events/3259-majorities-and-minarets-religious-freedom-and-public-space
