Back to school

Just in time for the new semester (we begin Monday), my syllabi!

None of the classes is new, having been last taught in Fall 2021, Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, respectively, but all have been more or less significantly updated. Theorizing is incorporating Universe of Terms (auditioned in After Religion last semester), bringing back a section on classic texts (Hume and Schleiermacher, welcome back!) and exploring the inaugural issue of the new journal Queer Trans Religion. After Religion brings in the religion of Earthseed, Islamic feminist environmentalism, Amazonian animism, and the story of the COEXIST bumper sticker. And Religion of Trees, which didn't have a chance to run its full course last time, is kitted out with more botany, two field trips, and "wild card" sessions exploring the gendering and racialization of trees - and how the history of religion has been (mis)represented by tree diagrams; under the guidance of an undergraduate academic fellow we're making a zine, too! 

I"ll keep you posted, not least to help myself keep them distinct.
