This twelve-week course will focus on minority/alternative religious traditions from around the world. Students will gain an appreciation for a multitude of perspectives they may not be familiar with. They will read translations of an array of primary sources, will engage with tangible secondary sources, and will choose a topic that interests them to research independently. The course will also include various exercises, several assessments, and an independent reading project.
