PSY 2644 - The Psychology of Minority Religious Traditions Through Novel and Film

1 Course Unit(s)
Also listed as REL 2644.
The purpose of this course is to examine, through novels and films, the practice of religious traditions in cultural contexts, in which the religious tradition is not the mainstream or dominant tradition (e.g. a Hindu residing in a predominantly Muslim cultural space). In some contexts, this would be an immigrant religion; in others, it would be a long standing and well-established minority tradition. We will investigate how cultural spaces shape and influence the construction of the non-dominant religious identity.
