Key Issues in the study of religion SAM5020
SAM5020 aims to provide students with advanced knowledge of selected key issues in the study of religion. To do this, it draws on cutting edge research-based here at MF. The aim is to connect master's level education with ongoing research, provide students with the skills to read and engage with up to date research and establish a better understanding of the kinds of research engagement with religion that underpins the RiCS (and other) masters programmes.
The course will consist of three parts: In the introductory part of the course, students will acquire relevant conceptual maps in order to understand the more specific discussions in ongoing research. The remaining two parts of the course will present a key issue, chosen in line with ongoing research at MF. The issues will change regularly, e.g. in two-year cycles.
The course will aim at providing the students with substantive knowledge of key controversies and tensions involving religion in society, as well as the development of familiarity with the craft of research.
The present iteration focuses on researching politicised religious othering. This topic will be the focus of the first part of the course and will investigate the relationship between religion and concepts such as race, racism, caste, colonialism and de/anticolonialism. This first part of the course serves as a preparation for investigating ongoing research linked to MF researchers and research topics.
The second part of the course invites internal and external guest speakers to present ongoing research that is relevant to understanding policised religious othering.
