“Religion and the American City” explores how the ‘urban revolution’—our globally linked, frenetically mobile, normatively multicultural, and economically information driven cities—both constrains and provides opportunities for religious vitality and agency in urban communities.  This course is offered jointly by NYTS and Queens College and is taught by Dr. Livezey at Queens College Midtown campus.  Utilizing the literature of urban theory and religious studies, we will examine the activities of New York’s diverse religious organizations and their impact on the city’s changing cultural, economic, and spatial structures.  (This course is next offered in the Fall 2007semester.)
