Interfaith Studies: Engaging in a Religiously Diverse World

This course develops students practical skills of interfaith understanding and engagement. The class begins with an introduction to interfaith work in a range of contexts, followed by a brief exploration into definitions of interfaith. The bulk of the course is organized around several key themes in Interfaith Studies, such as: interpersonal interfaith engagement, religious diversity in civic spaces, interfaith conflict, and social justice and interfaith activism. In each theme-based unit of the course, we will study case studies with the intention of understanding the history and nature of interfaith interactions. Students will ask questions about how religious communities bridge those differences? What challenges do they have?
