ASRC 1862
FWS: Black Faith Writing Matters

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This seminar explores how we (re)present our deepest commitments, religious or otherwise, to one another and especially in various (digital) publics. The textual examples will be taken from Black religious writings in the 20th and 21st centuries. Among other important questions, the seminar will ask: Why and how does faith matter to certain people of African descent? How have they expressed their (secular) faith or religious commitments in public? How might these religious writers model what it means for us to write with conviction? This writing seminar will explore these questions and how religious writings have mattered in the context of struggle and resistance.
