v GLOBAL RELIGION v

        ____________________________________________________________________

        PURPOSE: Religion is one of the most significant aspects of global culture. Some-

           times it is a part of the rebellion against globalization, and at other times it serves the globalizing process. International migration disperses religious cultures into myriad diaspora communities, and the process of conversion expands religious ideologies and communities around the world. This course explores these aspects of each of the world’s religious traditions in their contemporary and historical settings, focusing on examples of global religion nearby here in So California. The goal of the course is to think critically about global religion: to understand how it develops and how it impacts the contemporary world.

       ON-LINE FORMAT: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the class will be on line. Inform-

          ation will posted on gauchospace, so check it regularly. Lectures will be given on zoom.

          Guests and virtual tours of religious sites will also be on zoom. The questions for the

          final multiple choice EXAM will be posted on gauchospace at the beginning of the class

          time scheduled; students will have an hour and a half to complete it and upload their

          answers onto gauchospace.

STUDENT PROJECTS: Students will create their own religion. Working in a TEAM of four via zoom and gaucho space chat rooms they will brainstorm and come up with ideas about a new religion that will relate to new global changes and conditions. “Money-ism,” for instance, might focus on the worship of the almighty dollar. Or students could show how an existing religion adapts to cultural encounters and new ideas– for example, “Cyber-Judaism.”  Each student will write a PAPER that focuses on one aspect of the religion the team creates, such as a) its symbol and beliefs, b) concept of God and sacred founders, c) rituals and worship, and d) organization and community. An individual’s paper should 1) describe this component, 2) show how it fits, 3) compare it with an existing religion, and 4) analyze how it is global (using ideas from lectures and readings). Each paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages, with the group writing a 1pp intro for the whole religion. It is due on Tuesday, May 31, uploaded on gauchospace.
