SOC 312 - Sociology of Religion

(4 credits, alternate years, consult department)
This course examines sociological perspectives on religion in a changing and globalized society. The course readings and discussion will focus on three questions: What is “religion”? What is the relationship between modernity and religiosity? How does one’s social position shape his or her experience of religiosity? The course will encourage students to reflect upon the relationship between sociological insights and their own experiences of religion.
