MINORITY RELIGIONS

Examines the histories, traditions, and lived religious practices of select minority religious groups by exploring their interaction and exchange with wider American culture (e.g., through architecture, commerce, food, law, and media). Case studies consider such questions as the shifting contextual meaning of the labels minority/majority and marginal/central; ways American religious groups affect one another while maintaining their distinct identities. Involves experiential learning.Prerequisite: EN 125 or equivalent.
