REL 3560 - Religion and Science Fiction (3)

When Offered: Spring. Alternate years
This course will boldly go where no one has gone before through a variety of texts, films and media, in order to discover the ways science fiction authors imagined religion, class, race, culture, economics, and history in this and other worlds. We will analyze contemporary science fiction novels, films, television shows, and short stories, looking at how authors construct their worlds and reconstruct ours.
