This seminar explores the interaction between social changes and religion in Latin America. We study national cases, where we explore the political and religious changes in Latin America during the 1960s and 1970s. Then, we investigate the interactions of religiosity with some social transformations (environmental and gender-related movements, marginality, and migration). During the semester, the students will work on a paper about religion and migration among Latino immigrants to the U.S. After the course, students will be able to explain the origins, context, and consequences of religious transformation in Latin America, to develop their critical assessment of the role of religion in society, and to engage in a clear, concise and analytically sharp reading, writing and speaking.
