Featured in the catalogue of the Religious Studies department this semester is a new 200 level class: Sacred Space. The class explores theories of space and the sacred from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. In this course you will read academic theories and primary texts, watch films, and visit sacred spaces—some religious, some secular—around Portland.
The class will be taught by the department chair of the Religious Studies Department, Professor Jessica Starling. Professor Starling joined the faculty of Lewis & Clark in 2013 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship in Japanese Buddhism at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also affiliated with the Asian Studies and Gender Studies programs at Lewis & Clark, and teaches courses on the religions of Asia, asceticism, religion and medicine, and ethnographic research methods.
Please join Professor Starling in this opportunity to explore sacred spaces in this brand new, 2 credit class taught Mondays from 3-4:30pm!
Religious Studies is located in room 2nd Floor of John R. Howard Hall on the Undergraduate Campus. MSC: 45
