Religion and Globalization

The Minor Concentration in Religion and Globalization offers you a comparative and historical exploration of religions across the world. You’ll explore how religions are shaping — and are shaped by — the social, political, and economic dynamics of globalization, modernization, secularization, and postcolonialism.
