This course emphasises the importance of understanding the current religious climate. We consider the representation of religion in the media and popular culture, its activity in the public sphere, and its significance for identity and wellbeing. Throughout the course you will investigate the current role, representation and function of religion in society today.
This is a varied and fascinating course taught by experienced, research-active academic specialists. Whether you are motivated by professional development or personal interest, this will develop your research and critical thinking skills.
Through your study you will hear from a range of speakers, including researchers, activists and religious practitioners, who will provide new perspectives on the topics we cover and enhance your learning.
This course is supported by the Centre for Religion in Society, established in 2008 at York St John University. The Centre is for practitioners and professionals from humanities and social sciences to consider the role of religion in our cultural, social and political life. This unique, interdisciplinary resource will enrich your learning experience and enhance your religious literacy, your understanding of varieties of spirituality and your awareness of religion as it intersects with current and critical issues in the public sphere locally and globally.
Students need to have 2:2 honours degree. Interview: You may be invited to interview. We welcome applicants with academic backgrounds from across humanities and social sciences. Some previous students have studied Religion, Philosophy or Theology at undergraduate level, while others have previously specialised in areas such as Sociology, Geography or Politics, or have relevant professional experience to support their application.
