CPEC 203 - From Crusades to Witch Hunts: Histories of Religious Violence (4 Cr.)
This course examines moments of religious tension, discrimination, and violence from the medieval period to present day. A major goal of the course is to uncover the ways in which religious belief and practice have shaped specific cultures at different times, and how differences in such beliefs reached beyond spiritual concerns to influence politics, economies, and other social developments. The course therefore illustrates how religious belief and practice are essential components of individual and communal identities. By exploring the lives of past groups of different classes, races, and religions, students will learn how to analyze these experiences historically; they will then apply these skills to examine contemporary examples of religious violence. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students and others with instructor permission. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Castillo.
