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.
Course Credit: 1.0
