Panelists discussed the frequent observation that the attacks of 2001 "changed everything." How have scholars and disciplines adapted or changed their approaches and topics, if at all, in the post-9/11 world?
For instance, it's widely acknowledged that political science has devoted more attention to the role of religion in global affairs, but whether or not this attention has been useful--or theoretically rigorous--is an open question. In religious studies, some changes have been apparent (e.g. an increase in Islamic Studies positions and courses), but has 9/11 changed the discourse about religion and its interaction with other disciplines?
