REL 205 - Religion in Conversation

4 credits
A study of theory for understanding conflict and models for conflict transformation and peacebuilding. Examines a range of themes relating to conflict involving religion, culture, ethnicity, nationalism and identity. What happens during the encounter between two vastly different ideological systems? When peoples’ histories seem to collide or when identities seem incompatible? Explores these and other issues through a series of case studies from both inside the US and abroad. Also studies the various methods that have been employed in efforts to resolve these conflicts. Incorporates perspectives from a variety of different inter-disciplines.
