Abstract

Religious literacy has become a widely invoked concept in scholarship, policy, popular discourse, and beyond. Since the 1990s, but more actively since 9/11, arguments in favor of training citizens to “get” religion and to understand why it matters “on the ground” have proliferated. A trans-Atlantic, Anglophone conversation has emerged as United States and United Kingdom educators and policymakers have called for increased engagement with, and public understanding of, religion. Often advancing one or more of the agendas of social cohesion, active citizenship, and democratic self-awareness, religious literacy emerges as a framework for addressing timely issues within pluralist settings. Frequently, advocates for religious literacy also call upon notions of secularity, explicitly citing the idea that the need for religious literacy results from our so-called secular society’s lost ability to interact with religious populations and identify religious tropes. Religious literacy, in this way, participates in the debate around religion’s place within the liberal-democratic public sphere and points to tensions underlying the category of the “secular.” Despite the growing body of literature on such themes, there is a dearth of scholarly analysis connecting theories of secularism to current policy proposals. My thesis intervenes by linking critical secularism studies—an emerging field that rethinks the classic secularization narrative—to the dialogue on religious literacy. I argue that religious literacy, with its inherent emphasis on “literacy” has the capacity to set us on an all-too-narrow path from the start by advancing intellectualized and “linguisticized” conceptions of religions, which privilege the cognitive, textual, rational, and apparently democratically compatible aspects of religions. Challenging such presumptions, this project examines the discourse on religious literacy, using the tools of critical secularism studies and affect theory to expose some of the liberal assumptions underlying the conversation. The thesis, in response, proposes a fresh perspective on religious literacy that takes into account the affective and embodied dimensions of religions and the 'secular'.

Abstract

The human Fc-gamma receptors (FcγRs) link adaptive and innate immunity by binding immunoglobulin G (IgG). All human low-affinity FcγRs are encoded by the FCGR2/3 locus containing functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene copy number variants. This locus is notoriously difficult to genotype and high-throughput methods commonly used focus on only a few SNPs. We performed multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for all relevant genetic variations at the FCGR2/3 locus in >4,000 individuals to define linkage disequilibrium (LD) and allele frequencies in different populations. Strong LD and extensive ethnic variation in allele frequencies was found across the locus. LD was strongest for the FCGR2C-ORF haplotype (rs759550223+rs76277413), which leads to expression of FcγRIIc. In Europeans, the FCGR2C-ORF haplotype showed strong LD with, among others, rs201218628 (FCGR2A-Q27W, r 2 = 0.63). LD between these two variants was weaker (r 2 = 0.17) in Africans, whereas the FCGR2C-ORF haplotype was nearly absent in Asians (minor allele frequency

14. Beyond Content or Skills: The Why, What, and How of Religious Studies Education

Author

Ellis, Justine Esta and Marcus, Benjamin Pietro

Abstract

What does religious studies education aim to teach? For years, this question has confounded educators and policymakers within the United States. To exacerbate matters, a common yet problematic narrative has emerged: content knowledge and skills are at odds with each other. In one camp, the story goes, are those who emphasize the "what"--the knowledge students need to become informed about religions. In the other, are educators who elevate the "how"--the skills necessary for engaging with an increasingly religiously diverse society. Seen as occupying opposite ends of the spectrum, content knowledge and skills vie for space in already-packed public school curricula. Thought leadership on religious literacy illustrates the challenges of bringing together the "what," the "how," and the "why" of current religious studies education. In this article, the authors contrast two key 2007 publications on the topic--Stephen Prothero's "Religious Literacy" and Diane Moore's "Overcoming Religious Illiteracy." The authors conclude that ultimately no program of education is neutral. Although the "why" cannot become synonymous with unconstitutional faith formation, it must still be present in the discussion for the sake of transparency and directed learning outcomes. The "why" inevitably shapes the "what" and the "how" of curricular content, so educators and policymakers need to be explicit about their intended goals from the outset. Even though it is unlikely that all stakeholders will agree on the values and dispositions that religious studies education should cultivate, taking ownership of the "why" will help advance a fuller conception of religious literacy at a time when it is needed most.
