RJ 205 - Religion, (In)justice, and Power (2 Cr.)


The aim of this interdisciplinary course is to introduce students to thinking about religion as a global, human phenomenon bound up with the structures of power. Students will explore, among other things, how the category of religion has interacted with and continues to influence and be influenced by political, social, economic, legal, artistic, and cultural frameworks. We will focus especially on how religion can support as much as stand in tension with the aims of social justice, especially as pursued in a global context. Fall semester, first offered 2021.
