I would like to pursue a PhD in history with a focus on religion in America. I’m mostly interested in the 20th century. I’m finding, however, that very few history departments have professors that specialize in religion in 20th century. If anything, they have professors working in early America (through the Civil War). Is it possible to focus on religion in modern America in a history department? If so, what schools should I consider?

Thanks.
