Course Description:
From Algonquin peoples to white Christian settlers to Jews to Buddhists to Santeras, Hartford's urban landscape has been and continues to be shaped by religion. The city's religious history and present affect how we live together and share public resources. In this course, we seek to understand what "religion in public life" means in a city so religiously, racially, ethnically, and economically diverse, and also so segregated. We engage a diverse range of religious practitioners, religious social policy organizing, and historical research. Through our academic study and community building, we aim to enrich public knowledge about Hartford's religious communities' histories, practices, and needs. |
