Emile Durkheim's work on religion occupies a central place in
religious studies classrooms today. At the undergraduate level,
Durkheim is widely taught in large Introduction to Religion courses
and in upper division seminars in "theory and method." His work is
also taught in graduate Religious Studies departments of all
stripes, from those grounded in the social sciences to those rooted
in phenomenology and history of religions. This diverse classroom
use within religious studies is reproduced in neighboring
disciplines, where Durkheim's work on religion is regularly
introduced in courses in sociology, anthropology, history, and
philosophy, as well as in such interdisciplinary programs as Jewish
studies and women's studies. This volume is designed as a resource
for teachers and students of Durkheim on religion, providing
practical advice about productive ways to approach central texts
and difficult pedagogical issues. It represents diverse points of
views and a range of disciplines. The essays in Part One address
large issues arising from the whole of Durkheim's work on religion,
such as what material to assign in what sorts of courses, and on
how to present the material to students of varying background and
motivation. Part Two turns to context, with essays assessing the
available English translations of the Elementary Forms of Religious
Life, and exploring how to teach the historical, critical, and
biographical framework of Durkheim's work on religion. Part Three
takes up questions of how to incorporate Durkheim's work in courses
concerned with ethics, gender studies, and social theory.
