Race and Religion in America

3 credits · Divinity School

Race and Religion in America explores the historical conflicts and critical questions that emerge at the intersection of race, religion, and nationalism - offering a space for students interested in American history, American religious history, and race in the Americas to consider how American identities have been constituted through subjugation, negations, and intersections. By combining two critical topics in American history, the course illuminates the racialized religious myths, symbols, and images encapsulated within the concept of the American. [3]
