Spring 2014: "Spiritual But Not Religious": Spirituality in America - RELG 2660

When

Mon. Jan 13, 2014 - Tue. Apr 29, 2014 (16 weeks)

Where

Minor Hall 125

Instructor: Mathew Hedstrom

This course asks: what does "spiritual but not religious" mean, and why has it become such a pervasive idea in modern America? We'll study everything from AA to yoga to Zen meditation, with stops in Christian rock, Beat poetry, Abstract Expressionist painting and more. In the end, we'll come to see spirituality in America as a complex intermingling of the great world religions, modern psychology, and a crassly commercialized culture industry.
