Strategic Working Groups
The Strategic Working Groups program provides both humanities faculty and faculty working in humanities-related fields with a framework for thinking about curricular innovations that grow out of new research areas. The program encourages selected groups to translate their work into courses, programs, and other concrete and ongoing activities that involve faculty and students at all levels.
The Fall 2007 group on Religion, Secularism, and Modernity, organized by Robert Sharf (Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures) and Saba Mahmood (Department of Anthropology), will develop a proposal for a new interdisciplinary graduate designated emphasis (DE) in religion and take up other challenges, such as curriculum reform and alternative institutional configurations, which will promote interdisciplinary research and teaching of religious studies at Berkeley.
