BA, University of Sussex. MSt, University of Oxford. MA, PhD, University of Pennsylvania. Raeburn is a scholar of religion and politics, with a particular focus on 20th century American Christianity and questions of race, wealth, and inequality. Currently he is working on two book projects. The first, tentatively titled Preaching Prosperity: Pentecostals and the Remaking of American Religion, 1900-2024, explores the influence of Pentecostals on American religion and politics across the 20th and 21st centuries. Raeburn’s work uncovers the religious, racial, and political movement building undertaken by Pentecostals across the Ozarks and southern plains. Overturning a scholarly consensus that Pentecostals were apolitical actors compared to their evangelical and Catholic counterparts, Raeburn shows that these former religious outsiders came to dominate religious media and developed a distinctive form of interracial politics that reshaped religious conceptions of the origins of and the solutions to racial and economic inequality. The second project is a biography of the historian Eugene D. Genovese, one of the foremost historians of American slavery in the 20th century. Raeburn has previously published on Genovese’s career and relationship to radical historiography in Modern Intellectual History. Prior to joining Sarah Lawrence College, Raeburn spent three years at Harvard University, first at the Harvard Slavery Remembrance Program and then at the History Design Studio at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research. Raeburn is an avid proponent of public history. Alongside his work at the Harvard Slavery Remembrance Project, he is a Tours and Public History Research Associate for the Dialogue Institute at Temple University. At the University of Pennsylvania, he taught courses on religious history including “Religion and Politics in America,” “Religions of the West,” “God and Money,” and “American Jesus.” At Harvard University, he ran workshops such as “Research Methods for Studying Slavery.” Raeburn has presented his research on three continents and is a regular presenter at the American Academy of Religion and the American Society of Church History. He has also presented at the American Historical Association, Historians of the Twentieth Century United States, Popular Culture Association, and the International Conference on Media, Religion, and Culture. His research has been supported by fellowships and grants from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as the Mellon Humanities, the National Institute of Social Sciences, the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, and the Carl Albert Center at the University of Oklahoma.
