REL 250: Special Topic- Telling Others: Encounters With Gods, Monsters, And Strangers Spitzer
4.00 Credits
Hollins University
At its most basic level, religion is about otherness, whether we experience the other as gods, monsters, strangers, or even as aspects of ourselves. These encounters happen both within and without, from individual experience of the sacred and divine to engagements with sociological, ethnic, and cultural others. Nonetheless, these others tell us something important about ourselves. From Leviathan to Kali, to the Diné (Navajo) Talking God and the Babylonian goddess, Tiamat, and to Jews, women, and "primitives," we will explore constructions ofand confrontations with otherness. We begin with an examination of gods and monsters in various religious texts from the ancient Near East, India, Southeast Asia, and indigenous North America. Our focus will invariably turn then to otherness in terms of social and cultural identity in which we will read philosophical and theoretical materials by postmodern thinkers concerned with otherness. This course also includes a film component. No prerequisite. Open to first-year students. Offered Term 2.

REL 318: SEXUAL ETHICS Schumm
4.00 Credits
Hollins University
In this course we explore the intersections between sexuality, gender, religion, and ethics. We examine how religious communities articulate moral and ethical responses to a variety of issues pertaining to sexual ethics such as abortion, homosexuality, sex work, transgenderism, sexual assault, abuse, violence, etc. Discussions explore how questions of power, race, gender, and privilege affect the discourse around sexual ethics. A critical component of the course is to allow students to apply the theoretical material they learn in class in a concrete and practical way. Each student is required to participate in a service-learning project with a community-based organization that actively addresses issues that relate to sexual ethics. Prerequisite: junior standing. Not offered in 2008-09. (o, DIV)

REL 340: Theories And Methods of Religious Studies Spitzer

This course examines the historical development and modern understanding of the academic study of religion. The focus of our inquiry will be the problems of methodology implicit in the study of religion. The course draws upon a variety of disciplines whose methods have built the secular study of religion, including anthropology, sociology, literary criticism, feminist theory, and ritual theory. We examine traditional as well as alternative methodological approaches, including perspectives that attend to issues of race, gender, and class. We'll read and discuss concrete examples of how these various theories and methods are applied when studying the world's major religious traditions. Prerequisite: two religion courses, one at the 200 level. Offered Term 2.
