This course surveys the intersections of mobility and religion with a special focus on historic and contemporary instances of migration, diaspora, and pilgrimage. Students will explore how cultures of mobility inform religious development and how certain types of movement can become institutionalized religious practice. The course also investigates the core question of whether there are unique characteristics to religion in contexts of mobility.
