So pretty excited for my classes next year even though they will be hard and full of essays, but oh well: here they are in their full liberal arts glory.
CONN 380 Religion and Architecture: From Cosmos to Cosmopolitan
Through architecture and traditional cosmologies found in religion and pre-modern societies, the course examines the historical and cultural connections between architecture and religion. The class investigates the symbolism of sacred space, and explores the role of architecture as a mediator between the gross and the fine, the body and the soul, the many and the one. In addition to specific traditions of sacred and secular (house and temple) construction, particular emphasis will be placed on the impacts of Modernism and the conditions of modernity on architecture and culture.
REL 310 Christianity and Law in the West
Many of the distinctive features of the modern Western legal tradition can be traced to medieval Europe and itd religious beliefs and practices. International law, law on the European continent, and law in nations following the Anglo-American tradition have been deeply colored by the assumptions and arguments of medieval canon law, the law regulating the Latin Catholic Church. This courses discusses legal developments in Europe during the medieval period. Topics covered include sin and crime, natural law, and law governing marriage and sexual norms. The course examines how canonical norms and ideas influenced secular law in the Middle Ages and how they have continued to shape Western law and legal theory up to the present.
REL 335 Classical Hinduism
A study of the various systems of myth, ritual, symbol, and thought that have significantly contributed to the development of Hinduism after the Vedic period. The approach of the course is primarily textual, examining a wide range of scriptural sources from the Hindu traditions.
