Religion and Contemporary Political Worlds

16 - 17 September 2020

Religion and politics are sometimes treated as separate domains, but in many societies--ranging from theocracies to avowedly secular states--religion and politics cannot be separated easily. In this course, we examine the religion-politics relationship from both sides: that is, how religious practices addresses political concerns, and how political engagement articulate with religious commitment. The course reading is dominantly ethnographic, examining religious-political relationships in diverse contexts around the world.

See Canvas and the course page for more details about this course. A more detailed schedule will be posted on Canvas.
