REL 410 - Sacred Space

3 Credits

In this upper division religion seminar students study a variety of theoretical perspectives on the idea of sacred space. In doing so, students investigate the critical cultural distinction between the sacred and the profane and interrogate how these two distinct types of ‘space’ have been produced over time. Students also inquire into their own personal relationship to place by working to integrate their individual narratives into broader cultural frameworks that define our collective experience of space.
