An uncommon flexibility between disciplines characterizes much of the scholarly work undertaken in the Graduate Division of Religion. It offers students the interdisciplinary opportunity to take courses and exams outside of a stated primary field of interest, allowing connection to a broader intellectual context, while providing necessary grounding in their specific discipline. The pages featured below offer a detailed sampling of a few of the interdisciplinary intersections investigated by the faculty and students of Drew’s GDR:
Students whose research interests cross disciplines will find a religion faculty at Drew that supports work in gender studies, African American studies, Latino/a studies, ecology, postcolonialism, poststructuralism, cultural studies, sex and sexuality, and religious education. A concentration in women’s studies is available in all programs. The committed movement toward an ever more versatile and open curricular structure is reflected in seminars and colloquia frequently involving students and faculty from several different fields. The GDR also enjoys close collaborations with other humanities programs in Drew’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.
