New Course Examines Pluralistic Nature of Religion in Japan
Professor Lori Meeks is offering a new course this fall titled "Religions of Japan" (REL 332). The course will examine religious life in Japan, from ancient through contemporary times, and will focus on issues of religious identity. Readings will range from philosophical and doctrinal works to poetry, popular narrative, and autobiography. Students will also be encouraged to explore documentary and animated films that address religious life in Japan. The course will also feature at least two fieldtrips, one to observe a religious site, and another to see a Buddhist collection at a local art museum.
