ASCL 51.11 Religions of Vietnam

Come learn about religious practices in Vietnam and among Vietnamese communities globally. Religions have gained visibility and influence since Vietnam’s 1986 policy reforms. Today, religions affect experiences of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, migration, class, and belonging, both in and beyond Vietnam’s socialist context. Our course investigates case studies from Buddhist, Christian, Confucian, Cao Dai, and spirit traditions to examine how people build communities, find purpose, and claim power through religion.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
