Rice University's location near the spiritually vibrant South Carolina sea islands, New Orleans' Voodoo traditions, and Mississippi's conjure and root work practices offers exceptional opportunities to advance scholarship on African American religion. The university's accessibility to Brazil's Candomblé and Haiti's Vodou further enables valuable cross-cultural research. This combination of a diverse religious environment and top-tier academic resources creates unparalleled conditions for studying African American religious traditions. The Religion M.A. program delivers comprehensive training in examining religious movements - including marginalized and transnational expressions - grounded in rigorous theoretical approaches to religious studies.
