Department of Religious Studies

This course develops graduate students’ teaching philosophies and skills in the classroom. It explores questions such as: How does our identity and embodiment complicate our work as religious studies teachers, particularly when we teach about identities that are outside our own? To what extent can we utilize our own identity as a teaching tool? What do we need to consider and what strategies can help our students when we introduce traditions, cultures, perspectives different from, and possibly challenging to, those with which they currently identify?
