Religion, Nature, and the Environment
Instructor: Peter Schadler, Jodie Vann

Themes under examination include notions of human dominion, stewardship, panentheism, and naturalism. Students will consider how religious ideologies have shaped conceptions of nature, and how changing understandings of the natural world have challenged religious ideas.
