In this unit, a case study of a contemporary genre of theology will allow students to practice theology as an inter-disciplinary endeavour that listens to and speaks into the crises, demands, challenges, and opportunities of the contemporary world. Each iteration of the unit will focus on a specific inter-disciplinary site of theology. Foci may include, but are not limited to, ecological, disability, Indigenous, feminist, or inter-religious theologies.
