It does so through the study of texts, beliefs, stories and practices connected with the major religions of India, China, and Japan, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Shinto. This course explores how the phenomenon of religion infuses our lives, shaping the ways we interact, informing how we view each other and the world around us.
