This seminar introduces students to the academic study of religion through in-depth study and analysis of various global religious traditions and the common themes, concerns, and social/cultural dimensions that they share. We explore a broad spectrum of material, including primary and secondary sources, as well as documentary films. The students’ interests form and guide their final projects, which are personalized demonstrations of the knowledge and skills they gained in the course, and involve both creative and academic presentation with the intention of translating scholarly work
and insight for a general audience.
