REL 440 - Seminar: Religion and Racism


Instructor
T.Foley

This seminar will examine the ways religion and racist dogma have helped to shape each other. In particular, it hopes to explore what religion, specifically post-medieval Christianity, has contributed to origin and development of the dogma of white supremacy and, in turn, how the dogma of white supremacy has in turn shaped myth, ritual and practice in both white and non-white religious communities.
