The programs examine religious traditions in Canada, encompassing Indigenous and Inuit spiritual practices, along with comparative religious studies across cultures and the religions of the Greco-Roman era. The cross-cultural perspective enables students to investigate religious expressions within their distinct cultural frameworks. The curriculum emphasizes anthropological, historical, psychological, and sociological methodologies.
The Department engages in joint programs for Women's Studies and Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the master's level.
The collaborative MA in Medieval and Renaissance Studies (MDR) pursues two objectives
To deliver interdisciplinary graduate training in Medieval and Renaissance Studies;
To instruct students in period-specific research methodologies and theoretical frameworks.
Since the Renaissance era, medieval studies have focused on this transitional epoch positioned between two influential civilizations: ancient Rome and modern Western society. This conceptualization has profoundly shaped academic research, solidifying a chronological division now standard across humanities disciplines.
