Department Overview:
As the largest department of religious studies at a public university, we embody the fragile proposition that informed participation in pluralist societies requires understanding religious worlds. Our faculty is uncommonly diverse, trained in many languages, traditions, and fields. It is also uncommonly pluralist in the range of research and teaching methods we employ; our curriculum includes courses taught through historical, philological, ethnographic, theological, philosophical, comparative, and literary approaches.
