For your summative assessment, you will create a digital presentation of your social theorizing about an issue in the study of religion in culture. This issue may be thought of as a keyword in the vein of entries in Raymond Williams or Russell T. McCutcheon & Aaron W. Hughes volumes. The issue provides you an opportunity to discuss how you might go forward in the academic study of religion in light of your study and research in the MA program. The poster and presentation create a venue in which you showcase your work in light of the tools and considerations with which you’ve experimented in the digital and public humanities.
