REL 174 RELIGION AND POWER

This course challenges students to think about “religion” as more than just a set of beliefs and practices that are neatly confined to individual institutions. Rather, students will be asked to consider how religion and social power can be entangled, and the kinds of effects those entanglements can produce. This course focuses especially on colonialism, exploring religion’s role in its development, as well as colonialism’s reciprocal role in shaping religion.
