Students will examine cultural expressions of belief in the supernatural, focusing specifically on people's ideas about magic, witchcraft, and religion. This course takes a wide-ranging and cross-cultural approach to studying religious beliefs and behaviors. Although this class focuses on the "indigenous" religions of Africa, Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas; elements of the "world religions" such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are also discussed. Students will have the opportunity to contrast other people's beliefs and practices with their own and develop a deeper understanding of the role of religion in the human experience. Eligibility: ENG 1510 without supports or Corequisite: ENG 1510 with supports.. J occasionally; C occasionally.
