Course Description:

This course provides a basic introduction to the descriptive and explanatory models in the sociological study of religion that prove helpful in examining the enculturation of diverse traditions such as Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Sikhism into the U.S. religious landscape. In addition, this course examines strains of anti-immigration in the United States that resist such efforts of religious enculturation. Finally, this course acknowledges the distinctiveness of these enculturated religious traditions in order to move toward a pluralistic engagement of religious traditions.
