REL 40.08 Fear and Loathing in Religion: Contested Religious Belonging in South and Southeast Asia

Is religion a source of conflict or a resource for cooperation? How do Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, and Hindus relate to one another, and how have these identities and relationships changed over time and from place to place? What social processes produce violence, make peace, or enable justice? This intermediate-level course responds to these questions by investigating ethnographic case studies of multireligious spaces and communities in contemporary South and Southeast Asia.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
