WOST 316 Liberation Theologies

(Cross-listed from Rel 316) Liberation Theologies focuses on three contemporary theologies of liberation (Latin Merican Liberation Theology, North American Black Theology and North American Feminist Theology) as they are developing in the Americas. The course examines similarities and differences among these three theologies – in conversation with Womanist and Latina theologies – as each addresses specific theological questions raised by the people of God in actual contemporary situations of exploration and oppression. The course also has a praxis component in which students move outward into the community.
