REL 226 - Hinduism in America

Institution:

Cedar Crest College

Subject:

Description:

As the dominant religion of India, Hinduism has had a continuing influence on patterns of belief and culture in South Asia. In this course students explore the ways in which these cultural patterns have been brought to the United States by large numbers of devotees since reforms to U.S. immigration policy in 1965. Through visits to Hindu temples within our region participants come to understand the globalization of a tradition once through to be entirely confined to the Indian subcontinent. This course may be offered in conjunction with short term study abroad experiences in India.
