REL R160 Religion in American Culture   Tags: american_culture, r160, religion  

How does religion influence American culture, and how does American culture shape religion? We will answer this question by reading and discussing novels, correspondence, laws, autobiographies, and ethnographies; by viewing movies, television, art, and cartoons; by listening to music; and even by eating food! The goal of this course is to provide an engaging, accessible introduction to how religion and American culture have intertwined, both historically and in the present, while developing skills in critical thinking, written and oral communication, and analysis of documents that will help students to prepare for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses and for careers in a variety of professions, including business, law, medicine, and education.
