WS 236 - Womanist Theology (3 Cr.) (RLG 236 ) (LER-DIV)
What is the meaning of faith for black women as they struggle for life and freedom? This course attempts to answer this question as it explores black women’s religious/theological experience from a Christian perspective. Attention is given to the nature of the social/historical struggle that informs black women’s understandings of themselves in relationship to God, church, and community. Focus is given to four distinct periods in black women’s history: the Antebellum period, the period of the Great Migration, the Civil Rights era, and the contemporary situation. Reflective of the womanist tradition, this course accesses various media forms to discern the womanist religious experience. Prerequisite: one course in women, gender, and sexuality studies or religion and sophomore standing. Fall 2015 and alternate years thereafter. Douglas.
