Course: RELS 3828.1 ST: Zionism Israel’s Narrative Department: Department for the Study of Religion, Faculty of Arts, Saint Mary’s University Semester: Fall, 09/07/22-12/21/22 Schedule: Lectures – 4:00-5:15 MW Academic Calendar Description: Zionism refers to the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their biblical homeland and later for the creation of a Jewish State. The Zionist narrative that promoted the State of Israel, arguably, did so on historical and biblical grounds. The early Zionist leaders were ardent socialists and nationalists who hoped to create a homeland for a completely new kind of Jew; a modern community that amalgamated nationalism, socialism, enlightened western culture, along with some as yet undefined ethnic Jewish identity. The creation of the State of Israel in 1948 had significant consequences for the Jewish people, for Israel’s Arab neighbors and for much of the rest of the world. This course will examine the historical formation of Zionism and the ethical complexity of this ideology.

Department: Department of RELIGIOUS STUDIES, Faculty of Arts, Saint Mary’s University.
Semester: SUMMER I (3 MAY 2021 – 19 JUNE 2021)
Schedule: WW
Academic Calendar Description:
Is the emerging (or re-emerging) interest in spirituality in the workplace enabling more individual fulfillment and better decision-making or is it creating new conflicts and more exclusionary workplace practices? What influences do religious traditions and worldviews have on how we work together? The increasing globalization of business and communication, the need for more qualified immigrants to Canada, and the growing diversity of people in many workplaces is forcing re-examination of inherited attitudes and expectations about work. These changes require deep understanding of what spirituality, as the deepest source of values, can mean as workplaces change and people make choices about work, vocation, or calling. This course explores the potential, the benefits and the dangers of bringing spirituality into the workplace.
