SOSC 7378 - Religion and Politics: Intersections in the U.S. and the Muslim World
Credits: 3
Examines the interrelationship between religion and politics, with a focus on religion and politics in the U.S. Explores a wide range of issues, including the effects of religion and American political culture on one another; the origination and consequent development of church-state separation and its effect on religious communities; the ways religion motivates political action and shapes public opinion; and the role religion has played in political debates about race, ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ issues, climate change, and education. Covers the rise of radical Islamism as a religious response to global political dynamics and the history of religion-state relations in the Islamic tradition, as well as responses by moderate Muslims to radical Islamism. May be applied to one of the following curricular field concentrations: humanities, American studies, and global studies.
