Students have social and political concerns that can enter into the classroom depending on the topic. How do we teach topics like religion, race, and gender during politically charged times? How can we facilitate productive discussions in the classroom? What kinds of pushback should we anticipate from students, and how can we mitigate it before it […]

Recent scholarship has demonstrated that “religion” as we know it today is a post-Enlightenment concept. But this fact has not changed common discourse that assumes the universality of religion, nor has it stopped the academy from offering courses on religion in pre-modern contexts. So how do we approach teaching within a framework which we have […]

We take it as axiomatic in our research that a text cannot be fully understood when read in translation.

So how do we navigate the fact that the texts which our […]

Consequently, nearly all scholars in Religious Studies will have a foot in some other department. In this workshop, we will talk about strategies for bridging these disciplinary boundaries. In particular, Professor Thomas, who held […]

In this workshop, Dr. Meggie Crnic, who teaches the Capstone seminar, will discuss how she helps students construct a senior thesis. The aim of this seminar is to show TAs the skills that […]
