Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.
What happens when we die? Does our skin define the limits of our being? Why are we named for ancestors, for saints, for martyrs or teachers? How do we act in the face of all these questions? We will read and write about religious strategies from a broad range of traditions that help link individuals to those who came before, those who will come after and those with us now. You will gain skill at various forms of writing, such as personal reflection, critical summary, and comparison and synthesis of existing scholarship. Your writing will address human practices, from body markings to pilgrimage, fasting and martyrdom, as responses to anxieties and dilemmas shared by Homo sapiens across the bounds of culture and history.
