RST 294 Religion and Postcolonial/Decolonial Thought

Taking seriously the intertwinement between Christianity and imperial projects, this course reflects upon Christian theological and ethical themes by privileging postcolonial and decolonial lenses. Topics may include: Eurocentrism and violence; the co-constitution of race, gender, and sexuality in colonialism and the theological anthropological subject; the notions of “identity”, “hybridity,” and the power constituting both; the possibility (or not) of a truly postcolonial or decolonial Christianity.
