INTD 910 - Religion, Space and Place

3 credits
This seminar explores the way that religion produces and is produced by our conceptions of space and place. The course examines how religious language, spaces, and gestures map the cosmos and landscape, navigate movement and change, and locate personal and communal identity in space and time, particularly in the context of empire, globalization, and inter-cultural contact and conflict. The questions pursued are broadly theoretical and the readings are interdisciplinary, drawing from the study of religion and theology, the philosophy of space/place, critical geography, postcolonial and feminist theory, the study of race/ethnicity. Students develop research projects rooted in their particular disciplines.
