This class will offer a grounding in both the foundational primary documents and the current scholarly conversations in the academic field of Catholic studies. The course seeks to understand Catholicism as a global phenomenon within a context of cultural and religious pluralism and is organized around four key themes: (1) theorizing Catholic studies and the Catholic intellectual tradition; (2) a social scientific approach to Catholic studies, for example anthropological, sociological, or political; (3) a humanities approach to Catholic studies, for example literary, historical, or philosophical; and (4) current issues and developments in Catholic discourse. This critical interdisciplinary approach will invite students to integrate the learning they have done in their various paths through the certificate coursework. Note: This is the capstone course for the Certificate in Catholic Studies, and students are encouraged to take it as the final course in the program.
