This approach to religion is comparative, allowing for greater insights into the influences of religion in one's own social and cultural setting. The focus of the course is on systems of belief and practice, which occur on what is often referred to as the "margins" of society. Course will examine theories in the anthropology of religion and address specific topics such as 1) myth, symbol, and ritual; 2) magic, witchcraft, and divination; 3) healing and possession, etc.
