Requirement Fulfillment: Requirement: This course will fulfill a requirement in the major, minor, or core Concentration
Grounded in psychological research and theory, this course approaches the psychology of religion from a socio-cultural standpoint. We study the degree to which religion is an intricately related psychological and social construct. Attention is paid to both dominant and non-dominant religions as we examine the psychological, historical, and legal factors that combine to shape individual and social reality. The format of the course is that of a seminar with the expectation that students will contribute to the variety of materials and issues explored.
