UN3414: Changing Places | M. Taylor

Religion
Undergraduate Seminar
Tu 10:10AM-12PM

Globalization, climate, migration, surveillance, homelessness, and virtualization are changing the places where people live, work, love, pray, struggle, and die. This course explores the presuppositions and implications of intersecting vectors that are pushing society to the edge of collapse. The inquiry begins with a consideration of the contemporary status of the four ancient elements – earth, air, water, and fire, and proceeds to explore displacements in cities and the country and replacements in churches, temples, mosques, woods, gardens, and cemeteries. Have we passed the tipping point, or is recovery still possible?
