THEO 312 - Mystics and Gender 3 Credit Hours
Across religions, mystics transgress normal religious boundaries in order to have a direct experience of the ultimate. The field of gender studies examines the social construction of sex and gender roles and norms, questioning their normatively and naturalization. In this course, mysticism and gender studies will be used to inform and interrogate each other, as we seek to understand the mechanisms for challenging existing structures of power, received notions of goodness and orthodoxy, and transcendent truth claims.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in theology.
