Description: II : Methods in the Study of Religion is a required seminar for doctoral graduate students in the Department of Religion. This seminar focuses on the sociological, anthropological, and psychological texts central to the study of religion, in its historical formation and its contemporary relevance. Graduate students will be trained to think historically as well as theoretically about the emergence of the study of religion over the long twentieth century and its impact throughout cultural formations. Texts that remain relevant to the study of religion in the twenty-first century will be drawn from sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and other theorists of religion and culture.
