Course description
Students will participate in an ongoing, hands-on effort to explore,
document, and build connections with the religious diversity of our
region. The course will involve frequent field trips and site visits to
religious institutions and organizations near Ursinus, including
Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic sites, with the possibility of including
other traditions as well. Transportation and scheduling of site visits will
be arranged after the semester begins.
Reading list
Most of the readings will be in the form of handouts or a course reader.
However, we will be reading the full text of three monographs, so you
should plan on buying them. They are:
