Background

Katharine Stewart was born in Boston, Massachusetts.[when?][citation needed] She is Jewish.[4]

As a writer and speaker, Stewart has shown interest in controversies over religious freedom and the separation of church and state.[5] In addition, she has written on the topics of public education,[citation needed] science education,[citation needed] climate science,[citation needed] the public funding of faith-based initiatives,[citation needed] and bullying in schools in the U.S.[citation needed]

Career

Stewart began her career in journalism working for investigative reporter Wayne Barrett at The Village Voice.[when?][citation needed] Since 2011, Stewart has written on the themes and figures that interest her as an op-ed contributor to the The New York Times, with more than 15 appearing over the near decade-long affiliation.[1] She wrote opinion pieces extensively for The Guardian in 2012 and 2013, with almost 20 pieces, and has begun appearing there again in 2020.[2] In addition, Stewart has written for the following other periodicals:

In 2012, in response to that group's's involvement in her children's public school, she wrote The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children. Kirkus described the book as "[c]ompelling investigative journalism about an undercovered phenomenon."[6] Alexander Heffner of the Minnesota Star Tribune, whose review describes the book as "expos[ing] the violation of church and state in schools", further describes it as "an important work" and "a fascinating expose", and Stewart as "a great digger for facts" and as "a respectful narrator."[7]

In March 2020, Stewart published The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism[clarification needed] which was excerpted in the New York Review of Books.[citation needed] An essay she adapted from the book has appeared in The New Republic.[5]

Topics

Stewart's writings have elicited responses from Salon, The Brian Lehrer Show, and from religious quarters, as evidenced in Sojourners.[8][9][10]

In February 2013, Stewart wrote for Religion Dispatches about the case of Encinitas, California parents who filed a complaint in 2013 with their county about their school district offering yoga in their children's program, where, per Stewart's description, a lead sponsoring parent, Mary Eady, worked at Truthxchange, a Christian organization with the stated mission of “respond[ing] to the rising tide of neopaganism,” and the effort's attorney, Dean Broyles of the National Center for Law & Policy in Escondido, California "asserting that the Sun Salutation [in yoga] constitutes sun-worship."[11]

In November 2016, Stewart wrote in The Nation about the role of Donald J. Trump's shift on abortion as a factor in his 2016 election win.[12]
