This course is a rigorous interdisciplinary introduction to selected themes, debates and theoretical issues at the intersection of translation and religion. Students will become conversant with the integral role of translation in religious worlds, particularly with respect to the transmission of religious texts, ideas and practices around the globe and their transformation and adaption within individual societies over time. Students will develop critical and research competencies through engagement in textual/discursive analysis, digital ethnography, and, circumstances permitting, field research trips to local religious communities.
