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
