ANTHRO 1935 - Secularism in Question: Seminar

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Secularism, once understood as a normative political arrangement that promoted social peace and multiple religiosities, has recently been critiqued for circumscribing or denying people's abilities to live according to their religious understandings. However, such arguments have also stimulated strident responses that re-instantiate secular values and the enlightenment critique of religion as divisive and irrational. This course will examine recent controversies in France, India, the US and Turkey that have put secularism into question.
