Studying Religion in Culture

Welcome to the blog of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. This site -- maintained by the faculty but also involving our students, our alumni, and the graduate teaching assistants who help us in our classes -- discusses the relevance of the study of religion, in particular, and the liberal arts, in general, for understanding both the past and present, by seeing religion as but one element of wider cultural practices.

We stole a pic from REL major @ellie_dilworth_ — the start of the Fall semester seems like just yesterday. And a very long time ago. All at once. Good luck with exams & final assignments this week! Prof. @vtouna hosted our grad students & local MA alums for a semester-end party. And there was plenty of Greek food! It’s more than a button. Carter Sheldon is a senior at UA who conducted undergraduate research on Greek Life at UA. REL helped him present his findings at the national level. Prof. @srameystudyrel caught a a few faculty in the RELdl chatting about who uses a bibliography/citation software—while Prof. @seedpods preps to present to REL 503 students this afternoon. Time for the final push to complete course projects. Yesterday REL370 students were working on text analysis with Voyant Tools and exhibit building in Omeka. #RELTeaches @seedpods As an MA student in the "public humanities" core course at REL, Lauren Thompson observed a 2023 American Examples workshop. After making a video, she realized something about religion scholars: they're inhuman. Read more to find out how and why!... Tomorrow and Wednesday 10-1. Stop by for a minute, hang out for awhile, or put in a few hours of studying. We hope to see you here! #TodayatUA
