Description

Students will be introduced to the complexities of Black Atlantic religious practices and experiences through a critical engagement with questions of gender and sexuality. We will examine the production of masculinities, femininities, moral and ethical selves, queer and transgendered bodies, and racialized subjects within differently situated religious and spiritual practices. The course will primarily focus on Haitian Vodun, Brazilian Candomble, Cuban Santeria and Palo Mayombe, as well as others.
