RELI 160D6 – Gender and Religion

This course introduces students to the study of gender and religion. Students will consider foundational questions about the categories of religion and gender- what is religion and how do we study it? What is the relationship between gender and religion? How does gender shape religious roles and experiences, and how has gender in turn been shaped by religious expectations? We will examine some of the most central contemporary political conflicts from the perspective of gender studies and religious studies.
