This seminar looks at contemporary religion as it is visible on the World
Wide Web. In particular, the course focuses on Judaism. Central to
the course is student work in ethnography. Students learn about the diversity
of contemporary Judaism through careful listening and observation. Holding class in
a computer lab, we use the World Wide Web as the primary location for our studies. We
visit sites all over the world that tell the story of Judaism today.
