Religions are deeply, stubbornly physical and sensual. This online course aims to re-imagine the understanding of religion by grounding traditions in physical encounters between human bodies and sensual objects. Examples within the course range across Native American, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Jewish rituals and symbols, and materials will traverse fields from art history to anthropology, philosophy to poetry, science to religious studies.
