	RLST 146 CM - The Holocaust An interdisciplinary examination of the antecedents, realities, and implications of the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 147 HM - World Religions and Transnational Religions: American and Global Movements (3) An exploration of what happens to religious practices and communities when they are transplanted to new terrain: for example, in the establishment of “old world” religious enclaves in the United States, New Age adoptions of “foreign” practices, American understandings of world religions, or the exportation of American or Americanized religion to other countries through missionaries, media or returning immigrants. Considering exchange, conflict, adaptation and innovation as multidirectional, and always historically and politically informed, the course looks at several historic and contemporary instances of religious border crossings. HRT II. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 148 PO - Sufism What is the Muslim mystics’ view of reality? How is the soul conceptualized in relation to the divine being? What philosophical notions did they draw upon to articulate their visions of the cosmos? How did Muslim mystics organize themselves to form communities? What practices did they consider essential in realizing human perfection? HRT I, MES. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.

Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 150 AF - The Eye of God: Race and Empires of the Sun In mythic cycles from the “Western Tradition,” there has been a sustained intrigue over the relationship between the human eye and the heavenly sun. From the Cyclops of Homer’s Odyssey to its refiguring in D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation, the powers of the eye get equated with those of its celestial counterpart. This intrigue has been reshaped—but not lost—with the advent of modern visual surveillance techniques, like optical scanners in voting machines, weather-imaging satellites, and battlefield-embedded observational media. In this course, we will examine a range of manifestations of the solar eye, paying particular attention to the relationship(s) it bears to reality and the ways in which the solar eye operates in schemes both great and small of confidence and illusion. We will consider works by Plato, Foucault, Ellison, and Morrison; documents in government policy; and movies like “The Fly,” “Cube,” “9,” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. PRT I. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 151 CM - Poverty, Religion, and Social Change This course examines the social welfare reforms that emerged in the early modern period that addressed the increasing problem of poverty, including education, health care, refugee relief, and community development.

In addition, this course includes a community service component as part of the course in order to employ the pedagogical strategy of studying the history of poor relief reform in its contemporary application. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 152 PO - Ritual and Magic in Children’s Literature Many children’s stories describe a passage from immaturity to individuality and responsibility, and facilitate such a passage in their readers. We study this pattern in works by Burnett, Barrie, Rowling, Babbit, Lewis, Tolkien, and Le Guin, with a focus on the role of ritual and magic. Our purpose is to arrive at a critical awareness of how the stories work, and to speculate on the residue they leave on our religious sense and hermeneutics. CWS. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 153 CM - Religion and American Politics Explore major debates and controversies in American religions and politics from the colonial period to the present.

We will read biblical texts first for themselves, and then alongside more recent works, discussing the themes of love, suffering, evil, absurdity, and action as they apepar in both sets of texts. Attention will also be paid to the issues at stake in textual interpretation, and the degree to which the contemporary texts are afterlives of the ancient texts. CWS, MES. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 155 PO - Religion, Ethics and Social Practice How do our beliefs, models of moral reasoning, and communities of social interaction relate to one another?

HRT II. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 166A PO - The Divine Body: Religion and the Environment Sallie McFague calls the universe, and hence the earth, the Body of God. How are we treating such a body?

	RLST 167 SC - Early Christian-Muslim Relations: Baghdad to Barcelona Between the sixth and seventh centuries, approxiamately half of the world’s Christian population found itself living under Islamic rulers across an immense, three-continental geographical expanse from China to the Atlantic Ocean. This course will investigate how Christians and Muslims interacted in this new matrix of power. We will pay particular attention to non-military encounters-especially since these were less frequent than many suppose, and as such we will focus primarily on texts and material evidence between the seventh and eleventh century that point beyond the dominant “clash of civilizations” model to a more constructive, collaborative, and mutually-understanding model that is based on groundbreaking work in the field of pre-Crusade Christian-Muslim relations. Course Credit: 1.0 Offered: Occasionally Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 168 HM - Activism, Vocation, Justice Many powerful justice and community rights movements have been built on religious foundations. Likewise, many individuals have found their call to fight injustice, to alleviate suffering, or to improve their corner of the world in religious or spiritual practice. In this course, students will combine community engagement work with their class work; learning about justice, vocation, and service from diverse thinkers and reformers who have found religious meaning in their activist or service work, or who have interpreted doctrine, theology, or liturgy as demanding action from them. Readings will offer a range of models for thinking about the relationships between religious practices and activism (broadly construed), particularly at the intersections of religious difference, race, gender, sexuality, economics, global politics, and class.

	RLST 177 PO - Gender and Religion This course examines the complicated intersections of gender and religion. Neither gender, nor religion are straightforward categories, as the literature on each attests, and must be theorized as categories with particular histories and cultural contexts. This course will look at the ways in which “gender” and “religion” interact within various historical and cultural contexts to reinforce, contradict, and also resist traditional notions of gender and religious experience. Attention will be paid to how religion affects experiences of gender; and how gender affects experiences of religion. More specifically, we will explore the way in which the intersection of gender and religion affects understandings, experiences, and negotiations of religious origins, personal identities, religious experiences, agency, body shapes, images and disciplines, sexuality, race relations, cultural appropriations, and power structures. CWS. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.

	RLST 184 PO - Queer Theory and the Bible This course will look at how the Bible can be read productively through queer theory. We will examine biblical passages that are central to prohibitions on homosexuality, and the larger discourses of heteronormativity (constructed around gender, sexuality, class, national identity, state formations, kinship, children etc.) in which homophobic readings of the Bible emerge. We will also look at the ways in which these discourses and the identities they shore up can be “queered,” as well as at biblical texts that can be read as queer friendly. This process of queering will allow and require us to approach the biblical text in new ways. CWS. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.

Prerequisite(s): Instructor permission required. Course Credit: .25 or .50 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 187 PO - Queering Religion Religion is often queerer than one might imagine. This course looks at religious practices, texts, and traditions that defy the usual assumption that religions insist on binary gender divisions and heteropatriarchal kinship models. Along the way we question what we mean by “religion” and what we mean by “queer.” We consider how sexualities and genders are shaped in and through religious practices, texts, and traditions. We consider the intersections of religion and sexuality with transnational politics, ethnicities, cultures, and power relations. We consider how religious traditions can push back on received norms and create space for queer gender expression, identity, and sexual practice. The course will pay particular attention to how we research and write about queer religious phenomena. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 189B PO - Human-Nonhuman Animal Relations in East Asian Religions This course analyzes human-nonhuman animal relations in the context of Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and folk religious practices and beliefs. It looks at the roles animals play in ritual, festivals, sacrifice, diet, divination, self-cultivation, and religious narrative. Moreover, it examines what ways if any nonhuman animals are seen as subjects rather than objects and thus addresses such issues as anthropomorphism, human exceptionalism (speciesism), nonhuman animal sentience, and ethical responsibility to nonhuman animals. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
	RLST 189C PO - American Mysticism & Eastern Religious This course will investigate the history of the American countercultural religious milieu of the 1950s, 60s and 70s and its significance in the development of what has come to be known as the “religion of no religion.” It will examine the ways that Buddhist and Daoist thought and praxis, psychedelic drug use, alternative psychoanalysis, and Western scientific studies of the paranormal were fused together in an effort to create a way of knowing and being that could engender liberation. It will also assess the critique levied at intellectuals of this period for merely appropriating Buddhist, Daoist, and other religious and philosophical ideas, texts, and practices for their own personal and political agendas-agendas ultimately rooted in the Orientalist discourse of nineteenth and early twentieth century scholarship on Asian traditions. Course Credit: 1.0 Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
