Religion and Violence in Contemporary Society

Education facts

Code: ARK262

In this course, religiously inspired violence is studied, as is the way in which the phenomenon can be interpreted and understood on a micro, meso and macro level from different perspectives from religious studies. The course deals with how violence can be based purely in ideology, how it can be explained within religious frameworks and also how it can be understood from, for example, religious psychological perspectives or sociological relational perspectives, as well as perspectives in which the societal geopolitical context also forms part of the discussion.
