Description:
A careful study of adolescence reveals that there are few rites of passage for
entering young adulthood. We will discuss themes such as continuity and
change in rites of passage, and responses to leaving the world of adolescence
and entering responsible adulthood. In response to present-day spirituality
movements, this class will incorporate sacred narratives, oral traditions, ritual
dance and the arts.
Professor Ines Talamantez, Religious Studies, teaches Introduction to Native American Religious Traditions, an exploration of the nature, structure and meaning of ritual act and language in the religious life of Native American cultures. She also teaches Religion and Ecology in North America, an analysis of specific themes critical to the understanding of Indigenous ways of knowing and the impact of colonialism.
