SOCI 335: RELIGION AND HEALTH
Spring 2025 · Section 001 · CRN 26708
This course uses sociological methods to understand the intersections among science, religion, and health. We will tackle some of the most difficult and important issues of our time, including religion and AI; how religion and medicine intersect in human reproductive genetic technologies; religion, meaning, and mental health and illness; religious approaches to vaccinations, among several others. We will also analyze how sociological approaches to these topics compliment and are different from biological and physical science approaches, as well as those from philosophy and religious studies approaches.
