Recent examples of research projects in religious studies include:
While much of the program's curriculum focuses on the world's major religious traditions, many courses examine the cultural, artistic and even technological facets of religious belief. Courses on parables, environmentalism, social movements, sacred spaces and the relationship between religion and politics all reveal the ways that the religious impulse shapes nonreligious experience.
Indigenous religions are often deeply concerned with the environment, with personal responsibility and strong communities, and with the immanence of the sacred. Those qualities make courses in Native American religions popular and resonant part of the religious studies program.
We don't usually think of Hollywood and religion as natural partners, but the film industry has often tried – with mixed results – to explore myth and divinity. Two courses, Religion in Film and The Celluloid Savior, examine the implications and effects of movies about religion and religious figures.
