Description:

In this course we will learn about the significance of spirituality through the voices of people of color, people of the Diasporas. We will delve into the philosophies that shaped the conceptual formation of sacred spaces. Understanding the rising of these sensibilities through a cyclical context: from the loci of various Indigenous roots, the last 527 years of incorporating/shedding imposed colonial forces (Genocide, Christianity, Catholicism, Slavery, Patriarchy, Censorship, Capitalism) and braiding diasporic influences (African, Middle Eastern, Asian, Xicanx, Latinx, forthcoming). Our course has two major components, theory and practice, through which we will reflect and act on the importance of spiritual practices within resistance movements permeating the power configurations of the nation/state in the Americas
