SOCY 49.21 The Black Church and Black Bodies: Race, Sexuality and Class in Religious Culture

Black churches are challenged to better understand and respond to subjects that are often considered taboo.  This course will focus on ideas and approaches that have informed the historic and current Black Church around race, sexuality, and class (and their nexus).  Informed by Cultural Theory, it will consider how such churches have endeavored to understand, socialize, and in some instances, control Black bodies as well as some of the broader implications for critically assessing inequality, diversity, and social justice.
