Doctor of Philosophy in Divinity - Anthropology and Sociology of Religion

The ASR area examines religious phenomena as social facts and cultural processes, using a combination of tools including fieldwork, archival research and textual interpretation.Anthropology and sociology have long served as core disciplines of the social sciences, and social scientific work on religion has been foundational for our current theorizations of culture, society, personhood, language, knowledge and economy. Promoting critical inquiry of what is regarded as 'religion', anthropologists and sociologists are attendant to the categories and politics of analysis, beginning from the everyday contexts of discourse and practice that make collective institutions and competing horizons of authority possible. Our ASR program is committed to qualitative ethnographic fieldwork, serious linguistic training, and historically sensitive research. Our Ph.D. students have worked on a range of topics from transnational movements in India, South Korea and the U.S. to spiritual tourism/ pilgrimage in Peru, Brazil and Iran. Our core faculty are experts in contemporary Islam and Christianity, with geographic specialties in the Middle East and East Asia.
