REL 295-02 - Special Topic: Intersections of Religion, Self, and Society

2 credits (Spring)

Cross-listed as: HUM 295-02 and SST 295-02. This course combines academic and co-curricular, religious life perspectives to explore the place of religion in understandings of the self and the social settings of which we are a part. We will begin with sociological questions on religion in public life and move toward an examination of religion in campus culture at Grinnell College, using our own small community/communities as a field/s for thinking together about these complex intersections.

Prerequisite: Second-year standing.
Instructor: Elfenbein, Shorb
