PDAD& C: Please let your faculty and upper-year undergraduate students know
about this unique learning opportunity.
4th Year Service-Learning Course, Fall 2009, Th 9-11am
Religion and the Public Sphere is a pilot project fourth-year,
service-learning course for third and fourth year students interested in the
academic study of religion. Undergraduates will experience first-hand how
religion enters the public sphere in such areas as non-profit organizations,
education, public policy, and health care. Past students have been majors in
religion, geography, urban planning and physics. Past placements have
included UofT's Multi-Faith Centre, the Canadian Council of Churches, and
Doors Open Toronto.
This course will provide students with the opportunity to engage in public
service that allows them to observe the dynamics of religious diversity in
public life. Goals of this public service are to have students participate
in developing policy, communications, and programming in public,
professional settings where religion is a focus (or at least an element) of
the work at hand. Students will critically reflect on their experience of
working with professionals and their "clients" in public settings where
religious diversity is at play.
Class will meet seven times over the semester. There will be readings
associated with 5 of these meetings. Students are expected to complete 10
weekly, 500 word, first person accounts (blog) about their service-learning
experience. Students are expected to work a total of 40-45 hours in their
placement, or 4.5 hours per week over 10 weeks.
* *
*Course Learning Goals*
* Students will learn to identify and analyse implicit and
explicit instances of religion in the public sphere.
* Students will engage with the work of public institutions in
which issues of religious diversity are directly or indirectly
addressed and will complete projects appropriate to those
institutions
* Develop students' knowledge of the significance of religion
within public life in Toronto, its impact on the urban landscape
and its weave with the social, cultural and economic fabric of
the city.
* Encourage students to reflect on the past and present nature of
religion in the public sphere
* Explore the significance of key concepts in the academic study
of religion such as class, gender, race and ethnicity, private
and public as experienced in their service-learning placement.
Interested students should email religion.publicsphere@xxxxxxxxxxxx
