  • Cultural Theorizing Has Dramatically Increased
    Cultural CHAPTER 9 Theorizing Another Embarassing Confession Like the concept of social structure, the conceptualization of culture in sociology is rather vague, despite a great deal of attention by sociologists to the properties and dynamics of cul- ture. There has always been the recognition that culture is attached to social structures, and vice versa, with the result that sociologists often speak in terms of sociocultural formations or sociocultural systems and structures. This merging of structure and culture rarely clarifies but, instead, further conflates a precise definition of culture. And so, sociology’s big idea— culture—is much like the notion of social structure. Its conceptualization is somewhat meta- phorical, often rather imprecise, and yet highly evocative. There is no consensus in defini- tions of culture beyond the general idea that humans create symbol systems, built from our linguistic capacities, which are used to regulate conduct. And even this definition would be challenged by some. Since the 1980s and accelerating with each decade, the amount of cultural theorizing has dramatically increased. Mid-twentieth-century functional theory had emphasized the importance of culture but not in a context-specific or robust manner; rather, functional- ism viewed culture as a mechanism by which actions are controlled and regulated,1 whereas much of the modern revival of culture has viewed culture in a much more robust and inclusive manner. When conflict theory finally pushed functionalism from center stage, it also tended to bring forth a more Marxian view of culture as a “superstructure” generated by economic substructures. Culture became the sidekick, much like Tonto for the Lone Ranger, to social structure, with the result that its autonomy and force indepen- dent of social structures were not emphasized and, in some cases, not even recognized.

  • The Role of Christian Privilege in the College Experiences of Jewish and Muslim Undergraduates
    IT’S A CHRISTIAN WORLD: THE ROLE OF CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE IN THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCES OF JEWISH AND MUSLIM UNDERGRADUATES By Brianna K. Becker A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education – Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT IT’S A CHRISTIAN WORLD: THE ROLE OF CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE IN THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCES OF JEWISH AND MUSLIM UNDERGRADUATES By Brianna K. Becker This qualitative study explored the role of Christian privilege in the college experiences of Jewish and Muslim undergraduates at one large public, land grant, research intensive university, a predominantly white institution (PWI) in the Midwest. I interviewed 13 participants, seven Muslims (four women, three men) and six Jews (three women, three men), about their experiences in college, how Christian privilege appeared (or did not) in those experiences, and how and if they defined Christian privilege for themselves. Through narrative inquiry, in single session, semi-structured interviews, I gathered the stories of these 13 participants and the role of Christian privilege in their college experiences at Midwest University (MU). This study provides an in depth exploration of what was in the current news when this study was conducted and written up regarding Jews and Muslims in the United States and particularly in higher education. A full chapter is dedicated to a history of religion, particularly Christianity and especially Protestantism, in the United States (and colonial America) and its higher education using Roger Geiger’s (2005) “The Ten Generations of American Higher Education” and Douglas Jacobsen and Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen’s (2012) No Longer Invisible: Religion in University Education as guideposts for understanding that history.

  • Can Faith Be More Than a Side Show in the Contemporary Academy? by Robert Wuthnow Published On: Feb 12, 2007
    Can Faith Be More Than a Side Show in the Contemporary Academy? By Robert Wuthnow Published on: Feb 12, 2007 Robert Wuthnow teaches sociology of religion and cultural sociology, specializing in the use of both quantitative and qualitative (historical and ethnographic) research methods. He has written America and the Challenges of Religious Diversity (Princeton University Press, 2005), and edited the Encyclopedia of Politics and Religion (Congressional Quarterly Books, 1998). The following essay will appear in The American University in a Postsecular Age: Religion and Higher Education (Oxford University Press, forthcoming 2007), edited by Douglas Jacobsen and Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen. Copyright © Oxford University Press. I am a sociologist by training and a dyed-in-the-wool empiricist by temperament, but the role of religion in the academy is not one that can be addressed from a firm empirical base. From time to time, one hears arguments that students are much more interested in religion or more comfortable expressing their faith on campus now than they were, say before the tragedy of September 11, 2001, or that faculty on secular campuses are more accepting of religious believers than they were a generation ago. We are tantalized in these speculations by the occasional result from national surveys of college freshmen or by reports of enrollments in religious studies courses.1 There are also the valuable historical studies that George Marsden, James Burtchaell, and others have done, or the more contemporary studies of Conrad Cherry, Richard Hughes, or John Schmalzbauer.2 Yet, whenever I approach this topic wearing my empiricist hat, I feel much less confident than I do about almost any other aspect of American religion.

    SOC 532: SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION Fall 2009 Richard L. Wood, Associate Professor of Sociology Thursdays 4:00-6:30 pm, 1061 SSCI (Sociology Commons) Office Hours: Mondays 2:00-3:00 p.m.1078 SSCI, 505-277-3945 Thursdays 2:00-3:00 p.m.1078 SSCI, 505-277-3945 or mornings at 401 Hokona-Zuni, by appointment via 277-1117 [email protected] fax: 505-277-1115 This course is designed to introduce students to a broad range of sociological work on religion. The course will emphasize the social and political implications of religious dynamics, but we will also pay attention to broader elements of religion. The field is a vast one, and even a serious, graduate-level course can only skim the surface; students are encouraged to delve more deeply into their particular interests via the term paper project. The course includes a variety of theoretical approaches, and comparative-historical, survey, network-analytic, and ethnographic methodological approaches are all included. We will discuss the relative advantages that different theoretical and methodological approaches offer for generating sociological insight into religion and society. The content of the course will be weighted heavily toward understanding religion and society in three settings: the United States, Latin America, and the Middle East. However, the theoretical and methodological tools learned will be useful for the sociology of religion in whatever settings draw your interests (and term papers can certainly be written on a wide variety of topic areas). Goals of the course: At the end of semester (if you prepare the readings well, engage actively in thoughtful discussion, and complete the other assignments), you will have laid strong intellectual foundations for doing graduate-level scholarship on religion (comprehensive exams, master’s thesis, dissertation research, etc.).

  • SOCIOLOGY of RELIGION Robert Wuthnow These Readings Will Expose You to the Central Ideas That Have Shaped the Sociology of Relig
    SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION Robert Wuthnow These readings will expose you to the central ideas that have shaped the sociology of religion. The list emphasizes major theoretical and theoretically informed substantive contributions, including some from anthropology and history as well as sociology. The basic readings are starred (*) and should be read carefully. Following each set of basic readings is a short selection of supplementary readings. These are meant to provide more recent and/or advanced understanding of how the core perspective has been extended or applied, or in some cases to suggest alternative approaches and applications. You should pick one of these supplementary readings from each section. In most instances, you may pick either a more theoretically oriented reading or a more empirically oriented study, depending on your interests. Mastering the basic readings and one supplementary reading from each section will give you about 90 percent of what you need to know for the General Examination in sociology of religion. The remaining 10 percent should be composed of recent literature in a sub- area related to your dissertation interests. The reading course will meet each week for one to one and a half hours. Please write and circulate a two-page memo in advance summarizing your thoughts about what you have read and raising questions for discussion. If the week's readings are new to you, focus on the basic readings; if you are already familiar with the basic readings, review them and come prepared to make a short presentation about one of the supplementary readings. For an extensive bibliography and sampling of topics covered in an undergraduate course in sociology of religion, see Meredith McGuire, Religion: The Social Context, 5th ed.

  • Peter L. Berger's Theory of Sociology of Knowledge and Its Implications for His Understanding of Third World Society
    PETER L. BERGER'S THEORY OF SOCIOLOGY OF KNOWLEDGE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THIRD WORLD SOCIETY A Thesis Submitted in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Philosophical Foundations by Iskandar Kisman Saher Institute for Christian Studies Toronto, Canada October, 1992 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is a reflection of a journey in my academic position. In this journey I am moving from a position where I was very close to Berger's later position to his early position. My life experience in Indonesia and study at ICS bring me to this new position, which, I believe, closer to my Christian faith. There are numerous people who have stimulated this perspective and to whom I am indebted. I am particularly grateful to Cal Seerveld, who first introduced ICS to me, and helped Glory and me in many ways during our lives in Toronto. I also wish to thank Paul Marshall, who encouraged me to come to ICS and served as my mentor and supervised the writing of this thesis, and to Brian Walsh, who served as my mentor in my first year at the Institute, gave helpful comments and corrections on an earlier version of this manuscript, and served as the internal examiner.

For most people, religion is a faith to be lived —or perhaps to be neglected – but for a few, it is also a phenomenon to be studied…. The student of society must be a student of religion; and the student of religion must be a student of society. -- J. Milton Yinger Course Description and Student Outcomes: Religion exists in a social context, and always is shaped by and shapes its social context. Furthermore, religion itself is always (at least in part) a socially constituted reality--that is, its content and structure are always formed, at least partially, out of the "stuff" of the socio-cultural world (language, symbols, groups, norms, interactions, resources, organizations, etc.). The sociology of religion pursues an understanding of both the "social-ness'" of religion itself and the mutually influencing interactions between religion and its social environment. We will analyze religious beliefs, practices, and organizations from a sociological perspective, with a primary focus on religion in contemporary American society. Specifically, this course is designed to: 1. Cultivate in students an understanding of the distinctively sociological approach to studying religion.
