Not offered 2026-27

In the Advanced Seminar in Comparative Religion, students will have the opportunity to do a deep dive into two or more religious traditions of their choosing. In particular, students will explore non-western and non-mainstream traditions, both globally and in the United States. This seminar will entail reading both secondary and primary source material from the traditions that are studied, with each student being responsible for presenting those traditions to the rest of the class. Just like in the standard/introductory version of the seminar, in-class activities will be a combination of guided lectures (with notes), seminar-style discussions (with mind-mapping and note-taking), and group exercises.
