RELS 1512 - Local Arts/Humanities: Religions in America
This Local Theme course uses the methods and insights of the social sciences to explore the central question of what it means to be a member of a “local” community. Through the study of the experiences of different peoples, cultures, and communities in our city, our region, or our nation, students will be able to better understand the complexity and diversity of the society in which we live. Selected topics crucial to American religions serve as a prism for understanding how religion has both shaped and been shaped by American cultures. Subjects may include various religious traditions, new religious movements and cult controversies, conversions, environmental issues, popular cultures, and how variables such as sexuality, race, class, gender, region, and politics have changed and been changed by religious worldviews in the past and present.
