RELST-273 Religion and Healing in Global Perspective
In this course, we will question how religious practices from a variety of traditions inform, address, and sometimes resolve issues pertaining to human dis-ease. Our focus will be the present day, and the majority of course readings are based on ethnographic research. During the first half of the course, we will consider critical terms and theories and then survey varieties of religious healing in North America. During the second half of the course, we will investigate religion and healing as they take place throughout the world, concluding with a comparative assessment of religious responses to COVID-19.
