Making Change
June 10–13, 2019
Curriculum
Making Change invites you into a conversation with other changemakers that reaches into the past to interpret and respond to the present, considers the role of religion in our changing world, and explores the dynamic relations between personal and societal transformation. Together with Harvard Divinity School faculty and other experienced facilitators, you will spend the week thinking and talking together about what it might mean to make change in ourselves, in our communities and in the world.
Conceptually, the course is divided into four modules. Throughout the program, you will also engage in “Meaning Making” small group sessions with experienced leaders who will help process information, bring it down to a personal level, and incorporate it into your ongoing efforts to make a positive difference in the world.

The Pew Research Center has published projected data on global trends in religion up to the year 2050. Allowing for the fact that such projections are inevitably provisional and are based on extrapolations from current trends, the data are nevertheless indicative of trends we should be paying attention to. What are those trends and what effect will they have on major regions of the world, including North America, Europe, Sub-Sharan Africa, China, and Asia? This session will address those questions and discuss their implications for global stability.

The arrival in 1517 of a Spanish sailing expedition on the coast of Mesoamerica set in motion one of the great cultural encounters in history. This event and its tumultuous and religious aftermath known as the Conquest of Mexico brought together the genes and cultures of two kinds of life to make “things new and different from anything else in the world.”
We will analyze three historical threads arising from Mexico’s creation that directly influence our contemporary arguments about borders, terrorism, immigration and religion: the history of race mixture in the Caribe and Mexico; the Great Debate about religious conversion, social justice and just war that took place in Valladolid, Spain in 1550-51; and the rise of Mexico City as the cultural and mercantile crossroads between the Silk Road and Europe in the 16-18th centuries.

Hempton
What analytical tools help us understand better the role of religion in regional and national conflicts? Is religion a proxy for other more deep-seated structural problems associated with identity, colonialism, and access to power and resources, or is religion itself (however defined) an agent of conflict? This session will address those questions, first in general terms, then in relation to one particular conflict, the so-called “Troubles” in Northern Ireland from 1968 to 1998. Finally, we will look at strategies of peacebuilding and assess their strengths and weaknesses over time.

His studies with historians of religions at the University of Chicago inspired him to work on the question, “where is your sacred place,” on the challenges of postcolonial ethnography and theory, and on the practices and symbolic nature of ritual violence in comparative perspective. Working with Mexican archaeologists, he has carried out research in the excavations and archives associated with the sites of Teotihuacan and Mexico-Tenochtitlan resulting in Religions of Mesoamerica, City of Sacrifice, and Quetzalcoatl and the Irony of Empire. An award-winning teacher, he has participated in spirited debates at Harvard with Cornel West and Samuel Huntington on the topics of race, culture, and religion in the Americas.

His work has included a special emphasis on the religious dimensions of Latino experience: mestizaje, the myth of Aztlan, transculturation, and La Virgen de Guadalupe. He is co-producer of the filmAlambrista: The Director’s Cut, which puts a human face on the life and struggles of undocumented Mexican farm workers in the United States, and he edited Alambrista and the U.S.-Mexico Border: Film, Music, and Stories of Undocumented Immigrants (University of New Mexico Press). He is editor-in-chief of the award-winning three-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of Mesoamerican Cultures.
