Religious studies is the academic inquiry into the fundamental stories, symbols, and practices that human beings have relied on to make sense of themselves and the worlds in which they live. The Department of Religious Studies pursues this inquiry across a range of religious traditions by examining their textual (T), historical (H), and cultural (C) dimensions. This inquiry does not seek to determine which religious views are ''right'' or ''true,'' but rather attempts to gain insight into how religious systems of meaning-making have shaped the cultural orders in which we live-with particular attention to how religious discourses have shaped understandings of race, gender, sexuality, nation, and class. The department is explicitly committed to the liberal arts tradition with a commitment to fostering both an international and pluralistic perspective as well as excellence in close reading, critical thinking, and effective communication.
