REL 2.02 Religions of Vietnam

Come learn about religious practices in Vietnam and among Vietnamese communities globally. Religions have gained visibility and influence since Vietnam’s 1986 policy reforms. Today, religions affect experiences of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, migration, class, and belonging, both in and beyond Vietnam’s socialist context. Our course investigates case studies from Buddhist, Christian, Confucian, Cao Dai, and spirit traditions to examine how people build communities, find purpose, and claim power through religion.
