RLG2014H: Digital Religion: Mediation and Method

Digital Religion orients students to two critical issues in the study of religion: 1) how do digital modes and platforms shift how people and communities mediate, experience, and deploy religion, and 2) how do digital tools (including AI) transform research methods and modes of knowledge sharing.

Readings will include historical, anthropological, and media studies approaches, as well as addressing issues such as digital ritual, algorithmic self-fashioning, and Indigenous data sovereignty. Assignments will enable students to develop skills with digital humanities tools, as well as abilities to undertake the ethical deliberation required to use them.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
