Spread the word in a way that gets to Pitt undergraduates-- new course at Pitt this spring #ReligiousStudies
RELGST 1417 Meets TuTh 2:30 - 3:45 with Marcela Perdomo Fulfills DSAS Diversity General Ed. Requirements This course traces the entanglements of religion, race, and identity in Latin America and in U.S. Latinx communities from the colonial era to the present. We begin by examining religion and race not as fixed realities but as categories shaped by history, politics, and power. From the legacies of cleanliness of blood in Iberia to the caste hierarchies of colonial New Spain, Catholicism provided the grammar through which difference was imagined and enforced. At the same time, Indigenous peoples, Africans, and their descendants found ways to navigate, subvert, and remake these boundaries, producing the unstable yet dynamic social formations that came to define Latin America. The course then turns to the complex dynamics of syncretism and iconoclasm. We consider how Amerindian religions were demonized as idolatry, how enslaved Africans and their descendants reshaped Catholic symbols into creole religions, and how the legacies of slavery and racial exclusion continue to mark Afro-descendant religious practices. In the final part of the course, we shift to the U.S. context to explore how Latinx communities negotiate race and religion within a different racial order. We examine how Latinos have come to be understood as a homogenous racial group, the role of Pentecostalism and Afro-Indigenous religious revivalism in shaping Latinx religious identities, and the ambivalence of these communities as sites of both empowerment and exclusion.

My co-edited book on #teaching #ReligiousStudies is probably the most focused one I have, and also the most "practical." If you're curious about how to think about religion, it's a good book. I also get to use a lot of Freddie Mercury/Queen.

My graduate training in #ReligiousStudies may have hurt my career not because it’s unrigorous or unneeded, but because loser scumbags like the landlord in the OP tweet below listened to right-wing dropouts who think critical thinking means ambushing students with a video camera. #ChangeMyMind

This is also a good example of why religious literacy (secular, I mean—humanistic, social scientific, etc.) is so goddamn important, for a scumbag landlord is the last person who should be trying to determine what “taqiyyah” is—it most certainly is NOT skipping out on the rent!

Brief FAFO story.

Last year, Landlord told Client to get out because Client is a Muslim immigrant. Client just wanted to leave quietly, but Landlord insisted that Client also pay the rest of the rent on the Lease, because Landlord said Muslims couldn't be trusted because of Taqiyya,

My biggest contribution to the “Women & Gender in Islam” course I TA is pointing out parallels/allusions to the Hebrew Bible in Islamic traditions. This week is the Sermon of Fatima, & I’m getting strong “daughters of Zelophehad” vibes. Is there research on that connection? #ReligiousStudies #Islam
