RLST115 CM - Asian American Religions

This course explores the role that religion has played in shaping Asian American identity and community through processes of immigration, discrimination, settlement, and generational change. It will analyze how Asian Americans make sense of their Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic identities, and how their faith communities have been sites of unity and division in the struggle for social change. This interdisciplinary course will draw from historical, sociological, cultural studies, and religious studies sources and examine how race and religion shape discussions of gender, sexuality, violence, trans-nationalism, and popular culture in Asian America.
