Religious Pluralism, Religious Freedom, and Dialogue in the Modern World

The course accounts for religions' collisions in the modern world and the ways in which colonialism and empire, nation states and legal mechanisms create conflict over cohesion. Students will be exposed to the history, politics and sociology of inter and intra religious conflicts through some recent cases along with attempts at inter-faith dialogue and action.

This course counts toward the Human Rights certificate.
