Global Religions BA

The main goals of the Global Religions program at UW Oshkosh are to study how individuals and communities around the world do this through their use of religious language, imagery and performance.

In studying the five major World Religions – Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism – students will engage specific issues that pertain to the Holocaust, the roles of women in the Bible, Islamic modernism, Hindu myth and ritual and Zen Buddhist practice among others.

Additionally, students will wrestle with issues that transcend and question the boundaries of these five traditions, examining comparative and contemporary issues in the study of religion, including:

the varieties and meaning of Asian Ritual Performances
the various religious roles that women and women’s rituals play throughout the world
the contributions of New Religious Movements to contemporary American culture
the place of children, children’s literature and comic books in modern religions
the varieties of mystical experience performed throughout the world and the use of religious language in global violence and terrorism
