- Class Notes:
- How are cultural and religious origins in antiquity determined? In this course we'll challenge conventional scholarly interpretations and engage in thought-provoking discussions about alternative and less traditional approaches. Through these examinations, we'll develop (re-)constructive approaches that account for wide ranges of cultural categories, social statuses, and types of evidence. As students, you will take the helm, steering our exploration towards the cultures and religious traditions that pique your interest the most.
