Teaching Religions, Medicines, and Healing

Courses on religion and health have become more popular with the rise of health humanities and applied religious studies as well as efforts to enroll health science undergraduates in our courses. In this online session, we will hear from a panel of teacher-scholars based on their experiences teaching about religions, medicines, and healing. The presenters represent a range of institutions and subfields, and they will explore pedagogical approaches and examples related to teaching courses and/or educating the public on religions, health, and healing. Our goal is to address some of the current challenges, opportunities, and effective strategies for those teaching or developing public resources in this area.
