What is the relation of Judaism and the individual Jew to the modern world? Is Judaism a religion, a nationality, an ethnicity, or a combination of these? This course explores various answers to these questions by examining various historical and cultural formations of Jewish identity in Europe, the Americas/Caribbean, Asia, and Africa from the 18th century to the present, and by engaging particular issues, such as Judaism's relation to race, technology, the environment, gender, sexuality, democracy, colonialism, violence, and disability, among others.
