Religion continues to shape our society and our understanding of the world. Deepening our knowledge of religious beliefs and practices is essential to tackling some of the greatest ethical and political challenges that we face.
On this course you’ll explore how religious traditions facilitate, disrupt, or otherwise influence political and social life. You’ll learn about the relevance of theology, sacred scripture, religious ritual, and faith-based organisations to contemporary issues such as climate change, terrorism, global development, gender, sexuality and race discrimination, migration and diaspora.
You’ll also critically interrogate the concept of ‘religion’ in the context of different theories of politics, policy and social change, engaging with hotly debated and contested topics such secularisation, religious identity and representation, and religion and the public sphere. You’ll have the option of choosing a specialised pathway in one of three areas – theology, global development, or gender.
