Religion in America

This seminar explores the role of religion in American society from cross-disciplinary perspectives: history, anthropology, literature, sociology, theology, material culture, etc. Both "religion" and "America" are broadly defined: "religion" takes into account multicultural and multifarious religious expressions in an increasingly pluralistic setting; "America" includes not merely the United States but Canada and the Caribbean as well. The members of the seminar are particularly interested in examining the religiously rich environment of New York City.
