GEND-2256/RLCT-2156-FA001: Religion, Justice and Animals

We invite community members to join our Community Engagement Courses. As you immerse yourself in the course content of your choosing, you will have the opportunity to connect with both the course instructor and Nipissing students. There is no requirement to submit coursework, nor will you receive a grade for participating in the course. Threaded through most religious traditions has been a notion of justice concerning our responsibility to others. Students develop critical social justice tools for engaging with religious ideas specifically around our duty to non-human animals. Students consider the role of non-human animals, both literally and symbolically, in religious imaginaries and whether or not there a meaningful difference between religious and secular considerations of non-human animals.
