RELI 073 - (HP) Sex and the Body in Religious Studies

Semester Hours: 3

Periodically
Given that religions often claim to be concerned with “spirit,” why are so many religions so preoccupied with sexuality, gender, and the body? This course will focus on a sampling of case studies (some chosen by the students enrolled) through which the class will explore the complex intersections of religion with the body in terms of race, gender, sexuality, and disability.
