REL 2164 - Race and Religion

1 Course Unit(s)
In this course, we test the hypothesis that relationships between religion and race have helped define American history, culture, and politics. We do this by interrogating processes and expressions of race and religion in America, such as orientalism, missions, liberation theologies, representation, eugenics, and secularism. Sources include films, theoretical texts, speculative fiction, and historical articles. Assignments may include short visual analysis papers and a creative project in a medium of students’ choosing (LENS).
