Subject associations REL 377 / AAS 376 / AMS 378 Term Fall 2023 Instructors Judith Weisenfeld View additional detailsfor Race and Religion in America (CD or SA) Registrar description In this seminar we examine how the modern constructed categories of "race" and "religion" have interacted in American history and culture. We explore how religious beliefs and practices have shaped ideas about race and how American racialization has shaped religious experience. We consider the impact of religion and race on notions of what it means to be American and how these have changed over time. Topics include race and biblical interpretation; religion and racial slavery; religion, race, and science; popular culture representations; race, religion, and politics; and religious resistance to racial hierarchy.
